Real results from students who trusted Interview SOS.
My daughter was extremely nervous before her Harvard alumni interview. After just one session, she felt confident and prepared. She was accepted Early Action!
The mock interview was incredibly realistic. I felt like I had already done my real interview by the time I met with the Yale alumni. The coaching made all the difference.
I was waitlisted at my top choice initially. Interview SOS helped me prepare for the follow-up interview, and I was admitted off the waitlist two weeks later!

We recommend starting preparation 1-2 weeks before the first scheduled interview. This gives enough time to develop strong answers and practice delivery without the material feeling stale. We're available 7 days a week and can accommodate last-minute requests.
Alumni interviews are typically more conversational and focus on getting to know you as a person. Admissions officer interviews may be more structured and evaluative. We prepare students for both types and teach them how to adapt their approach.
Absolutely. While the interview is just one component of your application, it's the only part where you can interact directly with the school. A great interview can tip the scales in your favor, especially for competitive schools where many qualified applicants are vying for limited spots.
We welcome parents to observe, but we find students do best when they answer questions independently. This builds the confidence they'll need in the actual interview. We're happy to debrief with parents afterward.
