<p>Hi. I'm having a Harvard College Interview this Saturday. </p>
<p>Any advice???</p>
<p>My interviewer is an alumni, living in my town. 5minutes from where I live.</p>
<p>Try going over some practice questions with your parents so that you have answers and will appear prepared and confident. Take a deep breath and don't get so tense that you just babble on and on and on and on.... Confidence is big, but don't appear over-confident; you don't want the interviewer to feel uncomfortable. Don't treat it like the world will end if something adverse happens. </p>
<p>I know it can be really hard, but if you are confident and relaxed, it will go a long way. Practice can help with this. Good luck!</p>
<ol>
<li>Dress nicely. No sneakers. No flipflops.</li>
<li>Shake his hand firmly, look him in the eye, and introduce yourself clearly. Say your full name.</li>
<li>Make sure your cell phone is turned off.</li>
<li>Don't be afraid to say you don't know the answer to a question.</li>
<li>Give him the opportunity to persuade you to go to Harvard--ask him some questions about his own experience there.</li>
</ol>
<p>My french teacher tells us that for interviews, if you bring a folder (but don't put anything in the folder, just bring one), it makes you look really cool, and it makes you look like you know your stuff. </p>
<p>Then we asked "what if they ask you what's in the folder?"</p>
<p>And he said that they never ask what's in the folder. :)</p>
