Vassar Interview question - how important can it be?

<p>Vassar interviews are non-evaluative; they will not change anything about your application. I had a lovely two-hour conversation with a Vassar alum who had experience with admissions but was no longer involved and, I found out later, of the eleven people who got interviews in my area, only five of us got in.</p>

<p>Ultimately, it’s purely informational, and I learned quite a bit. I learned significantly more about student fellows and other Vassar programs and made me want to attend the school. It’s a very good experience, but don’t stress it. It is just there to help you learn more about the school from a first-hand source and help you make the decision that’s right for you. I personally knew that Vassar was for me after the interview, but it could easily rule it out for you, too.</p>
