<p>Something that helped me a lot was having a lot of enthusiasm- it may have been a little over the top but at least the panel could see how excited I was about the academy! I was really surprised how many people there didn’t prepare at all- I was the only one who had practiced any questions and it really helped a lot! I would also recommend that you really try to add a little humor if appropriate because it makes the interview more fun for everyone if you’re having fun. My panel today was really friendly to me because I answered well and was excited- they were a lot harder on the people that didn’t show any enthusiasm.</p>
