Getting started with Interview Prep
Check each school's real interview policy, practise with the question bank, and try one AI mock.

College interviews are confusing because every school treats them differently. Some expect one, some offer them optionally, and plenty do not interview at all. Interview Prep starts by telling you which is which.
Start with the policy card
Each school covered by Interview Prep has a policy card that lays out what its interview actually is and how it fits into the application. If a school does not offer interviews, the card says "Not offered," plainly, so you do not burn prep time on an interview that will never happen.
Practice with the question bank
The question bank organizes interview questions into 7 categories, from the "tell me about yourself" openers to the curveballs. Work through one category at a time and sketch your talking points before you ever sit down with a real interviewer.
Pro: AI mock interviews
Every account gets one AI mock interview and one timed practice run to try. Pro removes that lifetime limit so you can rehearse against the specific school you are preparing for, including the timed mode built for international interview formats. A generous daily ceiling still applies to keep the feature sustainable; ordinary practice will not reach it.
Interview policies change. Blueprint keeps the cards current, but always double-check the school's official admissions page before you count on a policy.
