<p>Freakin' out! Who has had theirs already? How'd it go?</p>
<p>I had mine about 4 weeks ago 
it was awesome! My two cents:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Convey your passions!!! </p></li>
<li><p>Thank your interviewer for giving up their time for you</p></li>
<li><p>Be on time.</p></li>
<li><p>Bring something cool to show your interviewer so that they’ll remember you! </p></li>
<li><p>Ask lots of questions - its not a one way interrogation! </p></li>
<li><p>Send a follow up email (or even a letter) thanking your interviewer</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>The question that always comes… Why MIT?</p>
<p>Make sure you can answer it smoothly. It’s better to sound a little rehearsed for this one than stumble through it awkwardly.</p>
<p>Try to gauge your interviewer before making any controversial statements. Obviously still be yourself, but as an example, it was only after I felt my interviewer was pretty environmental did I talk about how gas prices should ideally be $8-9 to decrease emissions…(this was right after the 2nd presidential debate so I was discussing my interest in sustainability in context of the election).</p>
<p>Most important is to not worry! You are more interesting than you realize, so just have a a conversation and go with the flow.</p>
