newbie, go for interviews even if they're not required, it gives you a good opportunity to highlight your strengths and shows interest in the school. Most schools will only look at an interview if it's favourable. A few tips tho, have some really specific questions to ask, it shows you've done research. Don't jump on answers right away, think about it, or pretend, so it doesn't look like you've got everything scripted out. Lean forward (body posture is very important!) and don't cross your arms. Most of all, relax! most prospies are nervous, they expect that. Just breathe, and keep in mind how much you have to offer them!
