Congrats on your interview! Don't forget portfolio folder? It makes you look more professional. Keep a list of questions you wanna ask about the school. Be there early (when you're early you get to know other people thats gonna have interview who will keep you less nervous 😉 )Keep smiling.
Oh yeah ask someone a friend / a family to help you with mock interview and critique you..hope this helps good luck. And yeah give ur best shot.

Make sure that you ask questions during the interview to show that you have done enough studying about the designated school. And be yourself!

Good luck on Tuesday!
 
good luck with ur first interview...just be urself and be confident.
 
I'm advising this with the assumption that you are female.

Make sure you do not fidget, such as playing with your hair. It's a distraction to the interviewers and they may focus less on what you are saying and more on what you are doing. Get your point across without rambling and make sure you keep it slow, in order for them to understand you. I talk very fast when I'm nervous and it is a big red flag that you are not confident with what you are saying.

Breathe normally, relax and realize that they're people to. Even if you DO show that you're nervous, they understand it is a stressful situation. Just answer the questions honestly. You don't need to practice the truth.
 
Be able to explain any smudge or bad grade(s) on your application if they ask. Remember that your interview starts once you step foot on campus until you leave campus. Treat everyone with respect because you do not know who could influence your admission or rejection if you're disrespectful.

Congrats on the interview and Good Luck!!!!
