<p>I made a CC account just to post this and let people know that Morehead-Cain finalists do exist that aren’t prodigies, children of high society, or demi-gods. For you future M-C whatever-finalist kids, remember to be yourself during the interviews and don’t get nervous. My interviewers were really really really REALLY polite. Don’t say what you think they want to hear; say what you feel. Be bohemian. Eat your vegetables. Learn a foreign language. Help save the world in your own way. Relax.</p>
<p>I was late for my interview, I let slang slip out during my second one, but I didn’t forget to smile. Always smile and look at them in the eye.</p>
<p>The best advice anybody can give you: stick out like a sore thumb, but with style.</p>
