The main thing for students to realize is that this is their chance to let the university folks get to know them personally -- how they are different from other students; how they stand out; why the university would benefit from their being a student there. One of the biggest mistakes students make is to rehash what's already on their applications and in their test scores and transcripts.

Writeacher, I really need your help to write a short paragraph (100 words) on how best to prepare for a university interview.
I'll have to write a report for students giving them some advice on what to do. I should include information on how to dress, hot to prepare for the interview, and how to overcome nervousness. I really don't know what to write..
