Why do you want a career as an admissions officer?

The interviewer wants to hear a compelling reason this role suits you. Share a personal anecdote or why this job called out to you. Be specific about why this school, in particular, is a good fit for you.

"I've always been interested in working with students. Students are so excited and energetic about the future, and I love being around that kind of positivity. I will also never forget the impact my admissions officer had on me in supporting me through my whole decision-making process. She was such a source of encouragement and a great resource; everyone should have someone like that while making such a big decision. I would love to be that safe space for prospective students."
