I was recently offered an interview for an early assurance program at my university, and I have to say it went HORRENDOUS - won't be surprised if I am not selected, but who knows?
I felt like I had prepared enough for it, but when the time came, I felt myself choking and being affected by the pressure. As you could probably tell, I'm not the kind of person that can persuade somebody with words, but rather, with my actions - I have the grades, research, volunteer experience, leadership (yes, kind of paradoxical right?), and some other generic pre-med activities. Being a reserved person, it is hard for me to firmly convey my desires, thoughts, and goals to people and as a result, impress interviewers.
This may be a bit silly, but what are ways to effectively communicate during interviews without epically F#@$ing up?
English is also my second language so...
