Just remember UVa doesn't use interviews in the admissions process so there is no need to be nervous.

I actually had an informal interview last week for an internship which worked out well for me. Only advice I can give you is remeber that its informal. Be yourself, for mine I didn't wear a suit and tie.... but I wore khaki's and a relativly nice shirt. Good Luck.

Goodcolleges,

Check out this link. It will give you great advice re. interviews.

On top of that, do research on UVa. Know why you want to go there and be able to articulate that. Also be able to sell the aspects that would make you a great addition to the University. Be confident but at the same time humble.

Keep in mind that UVa doesn't take into considerating informal interviews when it comes to deciding who to admit, so relax and use this experience as practice for interviews that will definitely count in the future - like interviews for scholarships, jobs, etc.
