THE ART OF THE
   ADMISSIONS
     INTERVIEW

THE ART OF THE ADMISSIONS INTERVIEW



The admissions interview is your best
opportunity to assess who is
APPROPRIATE   for your school...




                       ...and who is                        NOT.



                                ©2012 COMMUNICATION EXCELLENCE. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
THE ART OF THE ADMISSIONS INTERVIEW




     Your Admissions Advisors must know how to:

INITIATE the conversation     CONTROL the interaction




            ASK the important questions.

THE ART OF THE ADMISSIONS INTERVIEW




First impressions can be deceiving...
 Which of these applicants is   MORE LIKELY    to graduate?




              YOU NEED TO KNOW. HOW DO YOU FIND OUT?




                                        ©2012 COMMUNICATION EXCELLENCE. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
THE ART OF THE ADMISSIONS INTERVIEW




 When your prospect answers the phone - what do your
   Admissions Advisors HEAR? What do they THINK?




      URBAN YOUTH            UNEMPLOYED ACTRESS        GAMING GEEK
          or                        or                         or
          JUNIOR EXECUTIVE               FUTURE MBA             IDEAL STUDENT




HOW   MANY GRADUATES HAVE YOU LOST BECAUSE THEY GUESSED?




                                                      ©2012 COMMUNICATION EXCELLENCE. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
THE ART OF THE ADMISSIONS INTERVIEW




A STRONG INTERVIEW cannot be a memorized set of questions to ask...



It requires UNDERSTANDING why they are asked,


                                   DECIDING   when to ask them,


            LISTENING   to the answers...


               ...and KNOWING what to ask next.

THE ART OF THE ADMISSIONS INTERVIEW




           Your Admissions Advisor MUST:


U NDERSTAND MOTIVATION



               D ISCUSS CHALLENGES




                               E STABLISH EXPECTATIONS



                                       ©2012 COMMUNICATION EXCELLENCE. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
THE ART OF THE ADMISSIONS INTERVIEW




Unless your school is prepared to admit

   EVERYONE WHO APPLIES
    REGARDLESS OF POTENTIAL TO GRADUATE



   The admissions interview is your best opportunity to
determine who is an appropriate student - AND WHO IS NOT.




                                       ©2012 COMMUNICATION EXCELLENCE. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
THE ART OF THE ADMISSIONS INTERVIEW




The Art of the Admissions Interview is available as a
stand-alone 3-hour seminar or can be incorporated as a
3-hour segment of a larger scope training program.

Seminar groups should be no larger than 20-25
participants for optimum interaction.

All university Admissions Advisors who interview
potential students can benefit from this training. The
college admissions interview is a unique challenge
requiring mastery of a unique and specific conversational
skillset.  Without it, your advisors will be admitting
students who are simply destined to fail.


    THE BEST STUDENTS ARRIVE THROUGH THE BEST INTERVIEWS.
                                       ©2012 COMMUNICATION EXCELLENCE. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
