<p>Does anyone know any good advice for interviews? For example what to wear, questions, comments, etc. Also include information about the tour.</p>
<p>make sure you have things to ask your interviewer - things about the school that can’t be answered by googling the school, etc.</p>
<p>like what?</p>
<p>questions about sports, etc… questions that you may come up with along the way.</p>
<p>also, be as personable as possible. don’t hide in the corner and barely open your mouth. engage in conversation about something.</p>

<p>Kay, firstly, there’s no reason to be nervous, if you are.
Next is clothes. So check the weather for interview-day. Dress accordingly to the weather – it doesn’t really matter what you wear as long as they’re in good repair (e.g. no ripped pants) and a bit formal. I’d recommend against wearing jeans. What I wore was a v-neck sweater, lacy tank inside, dress pants, and boots. It was kinda cold that day. I saw other girls wear a cardigan with a pretty tank inside and skirts, blouse & dress pants, just anything nice.
Like puppylvr said, ask good questions. For example (just an example, i’m not recommending any questions for you to ask)
Don’t ask:
“What’s the student-teacher ratio?”
Do ask:
“How does the student-teacher ratio affect the school? What effects have you seen?”</p>
<p>Just absorb the school in your tour. You should be comfortable during the tour, be friendly with the tour guide – he/she’s just a couple years older than you. Don’t be afraid to ask things like “So why did you choose (so-and-so school)?”</p>

<p>I think it helps if you practice with a sibling or friend too before the interview. Practicing helped me.</p>
