I plan on applying to UT next year and want to visit campus before I submit my application for the obvious reasons. The question is, if they ask me for an interview, is it very important to go out there again for a face to face rather than a phone interview lets say? I would undoubtedly go out there for a second time if need be but if it wouldnt be necessary I'd rather save on money and time if I could.

Thoughts?

Dear Thonk02,

Returning to campus to interview would be ideal, but not a necessity since you have visited campus already. Personally, I think face-to-face interviews are better for the applicant. Of course, many people do phone interviews and receive offers of admission, so it is not necessarily an advantage. I just think interviewing in person allows you to make a stronger connection with the interviewer.

Good luck,
Lisa

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
