Interview Preparation

Don’t leave your selective entry offer on the table!

Interview with confidence

Each year hundreds of students are invited to attend an interview with a SEAL, scholarship, or Selective Entry school. The purpose of the interview is to get to know the student, their academic potential, extracurricular interests, vision, and values, and to ensure that these qualities are synergised with those of the school.

Interviews are an opportunity for you to show why you belong at your dream school. Unfortunately, only 5% of seats are secured through the principal’s discretion category; the pressure to answer questions optimally and make the most of these rare chances make these interviews as much a challenge as an opportunity.

Prepare with confidence and with strategy for your selective entry exams

What is the competitive edge?

Confidence and preparation are key to claiming your selective entry offer.
Interview success has never been simpler. With our unique interview preparation program, our experts will take you through the process step-by-step to give you the best chance of achieving your goals.

01.

Understanding your unique selling proposition

We work with you to understand your strengths, weaknesses, and personal aptitudes. Often, students display only surface-level understanding in high-pressure situations like interviews. At Integral, we dig deeper into your goals to find a clarity of purpose, and explore how your unique qualities can properly showcase yourself in your application letter and interview. This self-awareness shows a maturity prized by interviewers.

02.

Understanding the school requirements

We make sure you’re asking the right questions. Schools have ideal candidates, and knowing what they are looking for is essential. We connect you with current students and alumni to get an insight into the community, opportunities, and culture of the school. Ultimately, we position your goals and personal beliefs with those of the school in order to showcase your value.

03.

Perfecting interview technique

Our interview coaching will ensure that you are prepared for the application and interview with great ideas that are true to you, but still employ the structure that interviewers value. It is not only important to be saying the right things, but to say them in the right way – and to have them sound natural. At Integral, our speaking practice and curated techniques will help you bring your story to life in the interview room.
