topic,Stage fright,Ask questionsKey words Similar topicThink out loud,Dont rehearse too much,1.Admissions interviewers are looking to get to know what youre like as a person.Your interviewer will most likely be able to tell if you come in with numerous rehearsed,canned answers.2.Have a general idea of the stories and examples youd like to share that are memorable and demonstrate your unique qualities,then further craft your answers as the conversation evolves.,Challenge,Make difficult,Words you didnt hear,Words that failed you,Words that slipped,Unprepared topic,Stage fright,1.My

know whether my thinking is on the proper track or not?4.Would you mind to enlighten me more on this?5.Maybe you would enlighten me more from the perspective of an expert?,Dont brag,1.While you shouldnt be so humble that you dont say anything positive about yourself when asked about your accomplishments,be careful not to go overboard.Going on for too long about how great you are and how many amazing things youve done can be off-putting.Its OK to let some of what youve done speak for itself.2.If certain achievements are really that incredible,the interviewer will show genuine interest and have follow-up questions,allowing you to expand on your experiences in a more natural way.,Humor,Kinds of humor:,DRY HUMOR,SELF-MOCKERY,EXAGGERATION,They may overlap a little bit

Plan,Action plan,Be thankful,Practice like a prizefighter,Be yourself,Stop looking at the clock,Prepare specific questions,Action plan,Your interviewer will expect you to ask some questions about the school and talk about why you want to go there.Think about why the school appeals to you,what you want to study and what you might do after graduation(you dont need a fifty-year plan).Challenge yourself to come up with creative questions the answers to which cannot be easily found on the colleges website.Bizarre or obvious questions will not impress the interviewer;thoughtful and specific inquiries will.,Prepare specific questions,Action Plan,Being interviewed is a skill,and it requires practice.Sit down with one of your parents,a teacher or a friend and have him or her ask you questions.Answer them honestly and seriously.Then ask your interviewer how you came across.The practice interview is a great way to become aware of little things you might not have known you were doing.Do you talk like a stuttering valley girl like,sorta,kinda?If so,cut down on ums and likes and try your best to answer in complete sentences.,Practice like a prizefighter,Action plan,Dont pretend to be someone youre not.Remember,the key to getting admitted(and being happy at college)is matchmaking.You want to be yourself so that the person interviewing you can discern if you would be a good fit.But remember that you have many sides.Dont show up looking like you peeled yourself off the couch,brushed the crumbs off your belly and rolled on in.Showcase the side of yourself that is professional,mature and confident.Smile,use your sense of humor and remember your interviewer wants the interview to go well too!Theyll feel comfortable if you are comfortable.,Be yourself,Action plan,Most interviews last approximately 10-15 minutes.Occasionally theyll run as long as half an hour.Students are sometimes told that the sign of a good interview is a long one.But most colleges schedule interviews back-to-back,so your interviewer is likely on a tight schedule.If you notice them checking the time,its not necessarily because they think youre boring.,Stop looking at the clock,Action plan,If theres something about the interview that was helpful to you,let your interviewer know.If you connected with your interviewer over a book,common experience,band youre both into,etc.,then mention it!Otherwise,simply express your continued interest in the school and thank your interviewer for taking the time to meet with you.,Be thankful,Wrap up,Make difficult,Words you
