How Can I Avoid Screwing Up An Interview?

Applying to College

<p>Thanks for the report. </p>

<p>I really hate that "Where else did you apply?" question. Sometimes you'll even find it on applications. Depending on the tone of the interview (i.e., how comfortable you feel with the interviewer) you might have some fun with a question like that and turn it back on him or her. In other words, say something like, "Now that you've learned a little bit about me, let's see if you can guess where else I may have applied." Then the interviewer gets all caught up in the guessing game, and you both may have a good laugh about the answers, too. This doesn't work in all interview situations, but it can be a nice twist when it does.</p>

<p>^ That's a good idea. I'll admit that I was a bit dishonest. I applied to 12, but I know thats a huge number so I said that I applied to 8 instead.</p>
