<p>HEY, YOU THERE! Yes, YOU!</p>
<p>I'm working on an idea for a comic, so anybody want to help me out? I've thought of two ways to screw up a college interview:</p>
<p>a)wear a sweater vest with tight leather pants
b)at the end of the interview go "uhhh what was your name again?" (sadly, I actually did this at one of my interviews...go me <_<)</p>
<p>Go on, just for kicks. :) It can be real or imaginary, whichever you prefer.</p>
<p>c) Spend an hour telling the Yale interviewer why Harvard is a good place for you.</p>
<p>d) attempt to seduce the interviewer with fluttering eye lashes, while giggling atrociously to everything they say</p>
<p>d) not show up</p>
<p>Here's one I did for a sit down with a Director of Admissions (group discussion at my HS, not really an interview)...</p>
<p>I got hit by a truck while on my bicycle Sunday Nov 11. Tuesday I had school and a certain college rep was scheduled to talk to a few students. I was high on percacet and basically was falling asleep at the table. I also randomly interrupted a fellow student when I thought she was done with a ... less than apt question.</p>
<p>But, I think the guy understood, as I explained to him the situation.</p>
<p>Omy, that's horrible. Hope it wasn't too serious. Stupid trucks!</p>
<p>I always have a hard time explaining my interest in anime to college admins...I showed one admissions officer my art, and I had forgotten to take out some of the embarassing drawings...I just can't believe she saw them! And they always have that look on their faces whenever I mention my interest in comics and anime, as if they're thinking, "Um. Weirdo."</p>
<p>So I'd have to add mentioning weird hobbies/interests to the list.</p>
<p>Have a miss teen USA-South Carolina moment. Which I did have.</p>
<p>Here is a good one, only refer to yourself as the third person.</p>
<p>Jmarin: LOL. Or adapt the speech of Yoda. :)</p>
<p>"Good SAT scores one does not need, but use the force one must."</p>
<p>Eat and speak with your mouth full.
Wear competing school's apparel.
Answer calls on your cell phone during interview.
Wear clothes with undergarments sticking out.
Drink so much coffee you shake.
Shake so much you tap the table incessantly.
Go to the wrong Starbucks.
Have a limp handshake.</p>
<p>A limp, SWEATY handshake.</p>
<p>Which was done after the nose was wiped.</p>
<p>I spoke at length about A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila and then discussed the message behind Soulja Boy's Crank Dat and then demonstrated the dance. Seriously, it somehow came up in conversation.</p>
<p>That requires skill. I think I made a quote from the Russian mafia.</p>
<p>Dude, I love Tila. I would have been all over that interview.</p>
<p>Arrive with a parent, have them sit with you, and have them answer for you. (Sadly, this is a true story for a student I was interviewing as an alum interviewer.)</p>
<p>haha anyone watch scrubs? one lady has a job interview, and she got a nosebleed during, then sneezed blood all over the guy's face... it was hilarious</p>
<p>@Catsushi: Hentai?? That's what I thought when I read "embarrassing".</p>
<p>Ask, "Hey, what's your policy toward getting totally wasted in the dorms? Are your RAs like, totally cool with cleaning up puddles of my puke from the hallways?"</p>
<p>To Junglebrain: Oh no, not my thing. :) It was more like one day I decided that I didn't draw enough guys, so I drew a guy's head, and then his hair looked wet so I made it so he was just coming out of a shower (he had a towel on, I swear!) and to make fun of it even more I added a little speech bubble with him saying "Mmm I like showers!" </p>
<p>I think I basically made myself look like a pervert in front of that admin. Yay me.</p>
<p>Yeah...that's pretty weird to show an admin...</p>
