There are several techniques you can use to highlight your talents in a college interview.

1. Be super knowledgeable by researching the school and its programs: Knowing as much about the school, its academic offerings, extracurricular activities will help you show that you're an informed applicant who is serious about attending their institution.
2. Practice speaking confidently: Rehearse answers to common questions ahead of time so that when it's time for your actual interview, you'll feel more at ease and be able to answer with confidence and clarity. Plus, show self-confidence by speaking clearly (articulate, and don't mince words) and making eye contact with the interviewer throughout the conversation.
3. Demonstrate pride in what you have accomplished so far, as well as any future goals or ambitions. Celebrate your achievements and share the joy with them.
