I have my Yale Interview in a week from today (July 2nd, 2018), and I’m stressing out a little bit. I’m worried that I won’t be prepared for the questions, won’t give a decent response, won’t come off as mature, give a bad impression, etc. I want to be as prepared as possible when it comes to the interview so I look like an applicant that they might want to accept. How do I do this? Also, does anyone know questions from the Yale interview?
@DynamicAero Read this post, it’s very good:

It sounds like you are having an on-campus interview. That will most likely be with a student worker in the AO. In many ways that will be easier because you will be talking to an age peer. Treat it as a conversation with a new friend, talking about your interests (academic and EC). This interviewer will also be able to give you much better insights on student life, so come prepared with questions. People generally like to talk about themselves. Good questions to ask (or variants thereof), what led you to choose Yale? Did your preconceptions of Yale fit reality? What do you do to relax? How did you find the transition to college life – are there tools that Yale provides to make this easier?
My advice - take the advice of @BKSquared. It is spot on.
