How to ask for an interview? Email or phone?

TSAO is having an informational meeting in my area, and the invitation said that we could interview with AO at the meeting. BUT, you have to email or call them to reserve a spot for an interview. So I didn't know whether I should call/email or my mom should. And, which form of communication would be the best? I have a feeling I would just embarrass myself on the phone and sound too monotone or something in an email. help!

e-mail may be best for reserving a spot at a TSAO related interview. Generally, you would want to call for an on-site interview because they are difficult to get, and travel may be involved. But a TSAO event you are already going to should be pretty simple to arrange. Good luck.

If I am opting for an off-campus interview, which mode of communication would be best?

It doesn't matter if you email or call or if you or a parent do it, but it might be easier to call because you can also ask the person on the other end questions. What matters is that you do it soon. If possible, visit the campus for your interview, but if you are not visiting the campus, try to go to any events the school or a group of schools might have in your area.

Oh hey, I went to the TSAO Meeting yesterday! PMme, Lol. But I did all of mine over phone, it's easier because you for sure can know they received it, it's confirmed, and you get to interact with them more.

I did the exact same thing yesterday also with travelling AOs.

I called first, because I like to do things directly over the phone, instead of emailing, and not knowing for sure when I'd get a reply.

But they all told me to email them to set up an appointment, so I did just that.

Good luck!
