On campus interview..please advise

<p>I hope some of you that have been through this before can help me. My twin daughters (Jr.s) have a tour and admissions interviews scheduled at a great University during their spring break. Currently this school has the status as "one of those kinda cool schools mom thinks we should look at" and if that is all it ever becomes I'm OK with that. But... I think they will fall in love with the beauty of the campus and the friendly openness I have heard is a trademark of the campus community. If that happens I want them both to be prepared to give a good interview but none of us really knows what to expect.</p>

<p>Here's the thing they are quiet kids have no experience in interview situations. They did have an interview in the fall w/ an admissions rep from another University but it really was informational because they were a year away from applying and the rep did almost all of the talking. I wasn't there so I don't know if the rep talked so much to fill the silence or if she always talks a lot.</p>

<p>So my quetion is...how do I best help them prepare for this interview? What did those of you who feel like you shined do to helop you feel less nervous. I would especially like to hear from the quiet ones out there who maybe aren't really used to advocating for themselves. Thanks!</p>

<p>Bumpuhduhbump</p>

<p>I would suggest going through some potential questions with them (eg why are you interested in this school? what are you interested in? etc - there are a bunch of suggestions on some other threads). This way, they will be more prepared and not choke up, as many people (not just the quiet ones) do. If you all go over some points that they really want to highlight, that will help the answers come easier. Good luck!</p>

<p>i think it would be great if they had interviews with different people at the school, so maybe you can schedule for the same time....</p>
