<p>My husband is an alum and did interviews for many years. I wouldn’t stress it. Just remember that the interviewer is looking to have a conversation. Do not give one word answers to questions, rather use them as a jumping off point to talk about things that are important to you. Make sure you have a couple of questions for the interviewer. It is always good to ask alumni interviewers about their own experiences at the school, what they liked, etc. If you don’t know an answer to a question it is good to say " That’s a good question. Let me think about that for a minute." Take the time to formulate an answer before you start to speak. This will prevent any aimless babbling. Also, try to keep everything on a positive note. This is not the time to complain about teachers, etc. Good Luck!</p>
