Why interview with Vericant?
There are many parts to your application, but an interview is the best chance to show true potential. Importantly, Vericant’s Spoken English Evaluation (SEE) and Writing Sample Evaluation (WSE) scores can be unique data points for institutions, allowing you to stand out next to your peers.
The Vericant Interviews gives us a chance to connect with applicants in a way that’s hard to capture on paper. You can hear their passion for their goals, see how they communicate, and get a sense of their personality and soft skills, like confidence and clarity of thought.

The Undergraduate and Graduate Interview
in detail
Structured behavioral-style interview
Behavioral interview questions focus on past experience and facilitate interesting conversations. Rather than testing knowledge in any particular area, the interview questions are designed to help admissions officers learn more about personality, interests, and the way the applicant approaches challenges.
Writing Sample
For undergraduate students and some graduate students, the writing sample offers a chance to showcase proficiency in English writing. Applicants will use a desktop computer to complete a digital writing sample in a 30-minute session, which is live-proctored and secure, either in-person or through Vericant’s secure interview platform remotely. Some graduate programs will not require the writing sample, so be sure to check with your program before preparing.
Examples:
Analytical: Do you agree with smoking bans in public places?
Practical: You’ve been asked to plan an event that shares something about your culture. What will you do and how will you get it done?
What happens after the interview?
Send interview to universities
2-3 business days after the Interview, the interview video and writing sample will be delivered to the applicant’s online Vericant dashboard.
Quick tips for your Vericant Interview
Free speech tips
During your free speech section, we suggest you talk about: Why you want to study in a different country. How you're prepared to live and learn far from home. How you can make your prospective school a better place. Things you really love to do or are passionate about. A time when things didn't go well, and what you learned. A tough time in your family that you overcame. A time when you were really proud of yourself. What makes you work hard and stay focused. What makes you different from others your age.
