Be aware of manners with all admissions office staff. If you know a student or faculty member personally, feel free to enter it naturally into the conversation identifying her or him as a source of guidance and advice in the process. If this school is your first choice, state it. If not, explain your first choice if asked, and present this school as your second, if this is accurate. If your choice of this school is tied to a fiancee's or spouse's choice, state it.
Most schools are sympathetic to couples.
Arrival A well planned arrival tips the odds in your favor. The goal is to have you in the best shape possible to present yourself in an honest and relaxed manner. Proper scheduling allows this. If the interview is not in your immediate area, come the day before, and stay overnight in a hotel or at a friend's home. Be sure the accommodations are adequate for a good night's sleep, and contain the proper support facilities to dress and groom the following morning.
