Figuring out where you want to apply, exams, SOPs, college applications, and the big-hitter&#8230;University interviews. Everything about that sounds exhausting and daunting. And, let\u2019s be real here, no one, absolutely no one likes giving interviews, and if they say do, then it\u2019s a big fat lie. Interviews are never fun, and preparing for one, especially one that will dictate the course of your future and career, is just..uff..totally dreadful, and absolutely scary. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No pressure!\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, real talk, we aren\u2019t trying to freak you out or anything, but it is a crucial step in getting admission to your dream college. And, sometimes, the best way to deal with things is to power through them. Read on to find 10 tips to ace your university interviews and get this show on the road!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practice_makes_perfect\"><\/span><strong>Practice makes perfect<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hate to sound repetitive, but practising really is the only way out of this. Do your research, find out the questions that are usually asked and figure out the best way to answer them. There\u2019s no getting around it, so might as well face it head-on! Don\u2019t forget to practice your answers with a mirror, and if you can grab someone to do mock interviews with, then even better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5052\" src=\"https:\/\/www.universityliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-design-20.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"730\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.universityliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-design-20.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.universityliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-design-20-300x177.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Own_it\"><\/span><b>Own it\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We mean that literally. Make the answers your own, put your essence in them, and give them a personal flair. The admissions interviewers want to see who you are, and parroting the same old response from google ain\u2019t gonna do you any good. They\u2019ve probably heard every variation to exist on the net, so give yourself the edge by coming up with original and personal answers. Honesty is the best policy here.
