<p>I just received a request for a telephone interview. Has anyone ever done this and if you have, could you give me some examples of the questions they ask?</p>

<p>Read the 1000 other threads on here about the types of questions for a regular interview. A phone interview won’t be any different, as far as questions go. You just don’t have to worry about body language, what to wear, etc.</p>

<p>So do they give interviews to everyone, even if the college is a reach for you?</p>

<p>i had a phone interview about 2 mts ago- not for Columbia. I’ve also had 2 or 3 regular in person interviews and personally, I thought my phone interview went terribly. My interviewer didn’t give me any notice because he was going out of state- he called, introduced himself and asked if i was able to do the interview right there and then on the spot.</p>

<p>use the time that you have before the interview takes place to prepare.</p>

<p>but the questions were similar to the questions at a normal in person interview. so i wouldnt worry.</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>Yep, even total rejects, which is a waste of time. I interviewed someone with a 1050 SAT (on the old scale) one year.</p>

<p>That’s really jerky of the interviewer. You should have lied and said you were on your way to church/basketball practice/music lessons/whatever, so you could do the interview later.</p>
