How did you prepare for the interview?

I watched YouTube videos and read as many articles as possible about how to perform my best in an interview. I tried to think about my most valuable life experiences and make sure to have them fleshed out so that I can give those examples to the interviewer if they ask. I asked my mom or a friend to ask me questions. I practiced answering questions in front of my camera (i.e. I opened my own private Zoom meeting and just spoke to myself). I copied and pasted questions to a google doc and just typed out my answers. I researched the school, about their curriculum and everything they offer, and how they compare to other schools to make sure I show I am knowledgeable about their school and how it compares to other schools.

The interview was very laid back, and low stress. Their admissions committee is very kind and understanding.
