Interviewing

So, it turns out I was all freaked out for nothing. I was asked to interview at every program to which I applied. I am heading out for the first one next weekend.

I've asked people exhaustively about how I should best prepare. No one really can say for sure. So I've come up with the following:

1. Be able to talk about your project in detail. Be able to give a general overview, kinda like an abstract, but then talk individually about specific findings. I'm preparing a powerpoint presentation. It is important that I say some people will not like that, so say you have it during the interview, but only take it out if they want to see it. Being able to talk about your project without visual aids - and have them understand - is the most important.

2. Know what the people are doing. Have questions prepared.

This is really all I've been given. I hope it all works out. Otherwise, I am totally fucked.
