Interview Manners and Etiquette
Be sure to be show your good manners and courtesy to everyone you speak
with, including secretaries, student workers, and any other person. The
admission officer may ask other people in the admissions office their
opinion about you as a potential college student. If you’re
rude to anyone, you can bet they will tell the admission officer and
your chances of getting accepted to that school will be dramatically
reduced.
You want to appear courteous and poised, confident,
and well-spoken to everyone you meet during the interview process. Speak using
clear and mature language.
Select an appropriate interview outfit. Dress nicely.
Men – Shirts must have collars and pants should be slacks or khakis
(in the northeast part of the U.S., blazers and neckties are a good idea). Socks
are an absolute must and hats are a definite NO. Don’t wear
jeans and a T-shirt.
Women – A dress, blouse and skirt, or blouse and pants are fine
(a jacket may be appropriate with blouse and pants).
