Interview Tips

• • • • • Be honest.

Relax.

– You’re just having a conversation.

If you’re presenting, know your material.

Be prepared to talk about “you”… – Do you have a life outside of school?

If you’re not already, become a TA or a tutor.

– It shows that you know your material well enough to explain it to others.
