INTERVIEW TRAINING: Homepage

Thank you for your interest becoming a STRIPES interviewer for Colorado College!

Your time is valuable; please read this section before you attend the interview training session with the admission director; it should take 10-15 minutes. The other materials are available on the website for your review and reference; if it has been awhile since you have been in touch with Colorado College, please review the general college website. If you want to know what college admission looks like these days on a more global level, I encourage you to explore the additional resources section.

Alumni volunteers thoroughly enjoy interviewing prospective students because it reminds them of their experiences at Colorado College and connects them to the process that brings the next generation of Tigers to campus. I was a STRIPES volunteer for three years before I took this position and decided to join the staff because I was so passionate about this opportunity. Nothing was more rewarding to me as a volunteer than receiving the letter from the Admission Office stating which of the students I had interviewed would be enrolling the next fall!

Training with the director will include a mock interview, so you will be able to see what kinds of questions to ask during an interview and what types of information students and the admission committee are looking for. Please review the list of questions here, but feel free to develop your own style.

As you can guess, the write up is the crucial portion of the process for the admission committee. Please come to the training prepared to ask questions about the write up!

After the admission committee admits students, you will receive information about the students you interviewed and have the opportunity to call and congratulate those who were admitted. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a student you interviewed enroll at Colorado College.

Except, of course, seeing them graduate.
