Hi everyone! I'm a junior and have been hearing about college interviews. I'm a bit nervous because I've never been great at interviews. Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to prepare for college interviews? It would be a huge help. Thank you!
Hey there! It's totally normal to feel nervous about college interviews, but don't worry, it's something you can definitely prepare for. One of the best things you can do is to research the college beforehand and think about why you're interested in attending that specific school. Be prepared to discuss your academic interests, extracurricular activities, and what you hope to gain from the college experience. Practice answering common interview questions, such as 'Tell me about yourself' or 'Why do you want to attend this college?'. This will help you feel more confident and articulate during the actual interview. On the day of the interview, dress appropriately and arrive early. Remember to be yourself, maintain eye contact, and show enthusiasm for the school and your future. Most importantly, relax and enjoy the conversation! Good luck!
