Things You Shouldn't Do in Your College Interview

Don't memorize your response.
While it's always good to prepare,you want to make sure your response don't sound memorized and robotic.Do a little research and some brainstorming for what might come up in the interview._32_Come prepared with some topics or questions you have,but there's no need to prepare your answers in full!

We how this isn't a job interview,but dressing nicely is just as important in a professional college interview!This interview may not seem as “real” as a job interview,but it doesn't mean you shouldn't be dressing up for it.Switch out those jeans and sneakers for a pencil skin and flats.
Don't leave your cell phone on.
We're all using technology these days,but there's a time and place for everything.Teenagers are notorious(声名狼藉的)for being glued to their devices,so don't give yourself a bad reputation by leaving your cell phone on during the interview.Switch your cell phone off and stick it in your bag for the interview so that it doesn't interrupt you._34_
