Carnegie Mellon Interview

<p>I have never done a college interview in my life. Any tips?</p>

<p>What will we talk about? Should I buy him a drink for coming out? What should I wear? Yeah, it feels lame to worry about the interview so much, but I just can't help but feel nervous. </p>

<p>The interview is this sunday.</p>

<p>Try not to be nervous. They're not trying to trip you up or anything. Rarely will an interview make or break you.</p>

<p>Think of it as an exchange of information. The conversation should just flow. Familiarize yourself with some particulars of the school...for example you should know you apply to a specific school at CMU. Have a few questions ready; you could ask something specific about your proposed major (like research possibilities), the city of Pittsburgh, double majoring...anything.</p>

<p>Buying him something to drink...I think he will probably offer you one, I think that's more appropriate, but if not you could offer.</p>

<p>What to wear...don't know that one, sorry, other than be comfortable and not flashy.</p>
