Interviews, Essays and Recommendations

Interviews: At Keene State College we do not offer interviews. We received over 5,000 applications last year and to meet everyone of the students who applied to KSC, well that would just be impossible.

Essay: I know writing the college essay can be stressful and a bit intimidating. I’m here to tell you to RELAX. We want you to write a well written essay. We make it easy for you by providing 2 essay questions to choose from. Remember to be yourself and if the word count goes over 300, it’s ok.

Recommendations: We only require 1 recommendation when applying to KSC. We hope that your recommendation comes from either a Guidance Counselor or teacher. Many students ask me if they can include more than one recommendation when applying. My answer is always YES.

I hope these tips ease the application process a bit. I know applying to college can be overwhelming. Remember, we are here to help you. We want to the process to be exciting, not grueling.

Good Luck!

FAQ: Interviews

Published at November 8, 2007 in Interviews. 1 Comment

I think that it is time that I start a Frequently Asked Questions part of the blog. One question that we hear over and over again is “do you offer interviews”? We do NOT offer prospective students the opportunity to interview with an admissions counselor. When a prospective student visits campus and attends one of our overviews they will have a chance to ask questions after the program is over. In addition, if a student needs to explain a circumstance they have encountered  the essay section of the application states this, ”Please feel free to provide an additional statement if there are special circunstances you would like the Admissions Committee to be aware of”.  So remember, we do not offer interviews.
