Crystal Peak University offers optional admissions interviews as a way for
applicants to personalize their application and demonstrate interest. Interviews
are evaluative but do not significantly impact admission decisions for most applicants.

**Interview Availability:** Interviews are available to all applicants but not
required for admission consideration. Due to interview capacity constraints,
not all applicants who request interviews will be accommodated. Interview
availability is offered based on regional representation goals and application
timeline, not selectivity likelihood.

**Interview Formats:** Interviews may be conducted in-person on campus, virtually
via video conference, or with alumni representatives in the applicant's home
region. All formats carry equal weight in the application process. Interview
format availability varies by geographic location and time of year.

**Scheduling Process:** Applicants may request interviews after submitting their
application. Interview requests are managed through the applicant portal, where
available time slots are displayed. Early Decision and Early Action applicants
receive priority scheduling to ensure completion before their decision release
dates.

**Interview Content:** Conversations typically last 30-45 minutes and cover the
applicant's academic interests, extracurricular engagement, reasons for applying
to Crystal Peak, and questions about the university. Alumni interviewers may
also share personal experiences. The interview is conversational, not interrogational.

**Preparation Guidance:** Applicants should research Crystal Peak programs
thoroughly, prepare thoughtful questions that cannot be answered from the website,
and be ready to discuss their academic interests beyond major names. Authentic
conversation matters more than rehearsed talking points.

**Interview Report:** Interviewers submit evaluation reports that become part
of the application file. Reports assess communication skills, intellectual
curiosity, and demonstrated interest. Reports are brief and supplemental to
other application materials.

**No-Show Policy:** Applicants who miss scheduled interviews without prior
cancellation may forfeit future interview opportunities. Rescheduling is typically
possible with 24-hour advance notice through the applicant portal.
