<p>^ Practice, practice, practice! Get family members and friends involved and do mock-panel interviews (3 interviewers) - be sure to emphasize FUN and a get-to-know-you kind of atmosphere rather than hard questions so she stays relaxed.</p>
<p>Sign up for a later Explore session so you can check in here to get a rundown on what the other kids are experiencing in their interviews and tailor your practice to that. Be sure she has a question or two ready for the panel - a question that shows she has looked into the unique programs or opportunities at USC is always a good idea.</p>
<p>Then, be sure she knows the results of our informal survey about how many “get” a scholarship - she can feel pretty confident that she won’t walk away empty-handed even if she freezes up a bit.</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK!</p>
