Hey guys,

I'm interviewing in about a week, and I'm just nervous so I thought I'd ask some of the experts and vets on here re: preparation.

If you have prep strategies, tips, useful threads, general advice, secrets of success, or other little (or big) things you used which helped a little or a lot...

post them here so those of us interviewing in the next few weeks can heed your advice 😀

Make eye contact, be enthusiastic and engaging but not over the top, and take a genuine interest in what your interviewer is saying.

Pay attention to information about the school, especially if it's provided to you before the interview. That can be incredibly helpful for figuring out what you should emphasize when you're talking with your interview.

Stay with hosts and talk to them about the school/ask them questions. This is another great way to get informed about the school and appear interested.
