The process typically involves the review of the application documents and an interview which assess the applicant's suitability or readiness for study abroad. In particular, great importance is often placed on the interview. This interview, however, is not always perfect in making an accurateand fair evaluation of the applicants because of the potential problems in the interview's format and the evaluation criteria as well as the biases interviewers frequent fall prey to.In this article, we will analyze the problems found in the typical interviewing process and discuss what can be done to improve it so we can make a fair and more accurate assessment of the applicants.
