TURNAROUND FOR FEEDBACK

01 — Sessions

Three simple ways to practice.

Every session is a real 1:1 conversation, not a quiz. You'll get written feedback afterward, and if a session isn't helpful, it's fully refunded — no awkward conversation required.

02 — How it works

Just three simple steps

  1. 01
    Pick a session

    Choose one of the three options and send over your contact info and a few times that work.

  2. 02
    Practice your interview

    We meet on Google Meet. I ask, you answer, and we talk through it together near the end.

  3. 03
    Review your debrief

    A written, encouraging summary of what landed and what to tighten arrives within 24 hours.

03 — TESTIMONIALS

In their words.

I learned how to think and answer quickly with an answer that is authentic to me.

04 — Book

Let's find a time.

Fill this out, and I'll email you back within a day to lock in a session over Google Meet. I suggest booking at least a week before a student's real interview. I host a limited number of sessions each week, so earlier is easier — especially in the fall. Parents are welcome to book on a student's behalf!

Chris Helvajian, higher education admissions interviewer and founder of My College Interview

05 — About me

Hi, I'm Chris.

I spent 10+ years working in higher education, including at UC Irvine and Chapman University. In that time I interviewed, evaluated, and advised thousands of students — which means I know what selective institutions are listening and looking for in college interviews.

Practicing with me is a low-stakes way to work on telling your story clearly, answering "why us?" like you mean it, and handling the questions you can't predict. My job isn't to judge you — it's to help you be the most prepared, most genuinely you version of yourself during your interview.
