Hi guys, I have a college interview tomorrow and I'm getting really anxious about it. I don't know how I'm going to hold up with the sweaty hands, the guy is obviously going to see how terribly jittery and nervous I am that he is going to reject me straight away. Need some tips to help through this :kickingmyself: :kickingmyself: :crying:
Stressed over College Interview
- Thread starter VainCape

If you get rejected, don't take it personally. Colleges especially the elite ones like Harvard and Yale are very biased in accepting students. Examples include accepting a certian number of people for certain majors, filling racial quotas, etc. To alleviate the anxiety, I suggest practicing with someone else perhaps a family member so that you get your act together before the actual interview. Good luck and remember, it's not teh end of the world if you didn't get in!

You have no idea what the interviewer might be looking for. You might make a good impression in some way that you never thought of and which has nothing to do with sweaty palms or appearing nervous. I can tell you one thing for certain: if you do appear nervous, the interviewer will *not* think the following: "This person is nervous. Why on Earth are they nervous? I just don't understand." It's an interview, so they expect to see some nervousness. I wouldn't worry about that so much.
It was largely a disaster. I ended up stuttering, rambling, ummm'ing alot. Some of my sentences didn't even make sense and I bet I appeared downright anxious and stupid. Oh well, not like I had a chance of getting in anyways.
Im just glad its over now.

You haven't heard the decision yet.
