<p>One key takeaway for me is the importance of being thoroughly prepared before conducting any admissions interview. Creating a checklist in advance&#8212;not only with the questions to ask but also with the required documents and criteria&#8212;helps ensure that nothing is overlooked. It also allows for a more organized and compliant process, making it easier to verify that each prospective student meets the necessary requirements. This level of preparation helps the conversation flow more smoothly and supports a professional and efficient admissions experience.</p>
