<p>Regardless of how much these interviews matter in the admission decision, I personally think that college interviews are a good way to get practice for “real” job interviews. My 3 college interviews surprisingly prepared me for internship interviews for this summer, and I’m really happy about that.</p>
<p>That said, when I visited MIT, the ad-com described a strong correlation between people who got interviews and people who were admitted. I think it’s a combination of a show of interest AND the type of people who seek an interview. Either way, it’s up to you. If it’s a comfortable distance and time, my attitude is: “why not”?</p>
