Interview advice!

Hey everyone! Hopefully all who have begun their interviews have had great experiences- what an exciting time in our lives.

I think it would be nice to start a thread for general thoughts on interviews, questions about the interview day/ what types of questions are asked , advice from those who have gone through them, etc! It'd be nice to know if you think you did something particularly well , or observed someone else doing something that's an absolute NO and share with us!

I know I have 3 interviews quickly approaching and as confident as I am that I will show these admissions who I am and why I am a great candidate for their school, I am naturally a little nervous as I'm sure many of you were/are!

So I guess I will begin and go ahead and ask if any of you who have been interviewed encountered any questions or comments that took you completely off guard?

Just be yourself and answer everything honestly. If you need to think for a moment about a question, let the interviewer know and take a few seconds to gather your thoughts before answering. The interviews, at least from my experience, are there to attach a personality to the application and they're more like a conversation. Don't stress and have fun with them!
