While every interview is different, they do have many things in common, and following certain steps can help you ace it.
Take the interview as seriously as you would an important job interview
Ask your guidance counselor for examples of some common interview question, then practice them with someone – a friend, a parent, a teacher – so you can get an idea of what you might say. Dress up for the big day in business or business-casual attire, and avoid showing up late.
Come prepared
Bring a copy of your resume with you. If you don't already have one, prepare one that includes any jobs you've held, extra-curricula activities you did, your volunteer work, awards you've won, and anything else that makes you seem worthy of admission. It can also help guide the interview – your interviewer will probably use it as a spring-board for asking you questions.
Bring questions and take notes
The interview is as much an opportunity for you to get to know the school on a more personal level as it is for them to get to know you. At the end you will be asked if you have any more questions – if you don't it will seem like you lack real interest in the college. Your interviewer will either be an alum or a current employee, so take advantage! Ask questions whose answers can't easily be found on the admissions website. But make sure to curb your enthusiasm – excessively fawning over the university can seem insincere. Don't forget to write down the answers you're given; later, this list might become an important tool for choosing between schools.
Be yourself
Unless you are an accomplished actor, an interviewer will probably be able to tell if you're projecting a false image of yourself. If you figure out what your best traits are and how to highlight them, you can use that knowledge to give you the confidence to shine. Your enthusiasm for the school will likely show through, and you'll be one step closer to your undergraduate education.
