The last interview on Round 2, help!

I screwed up last 2 interviews, 1 face2face, 1 via phone. I found myself:

1. too nervous to show myself and not persuasive enough to show my strengh and professionalism

2. have not made it a "conversation", that is there were very few interactions between I and interviewee.

To sum up, I can sense that the interviewee was not interested in my stories after the first 10 mins (might be 5 mins).

Now the last interview on R2 -- Boston College. Should I write down all the answers to interview questions and recite until I can answer it as if I am not reciting? And any other tips?

BTW, I only find 2 BC interview JJ on CD:

so anyone get any other info on BC interview, plz help.

Any tip will be helpful, Big thanks!

It is a good way to write down all the answers and recite them.You may not remember all the words, but you can express yourself freely.

no need to recite, buddy. just highlight some key points and do more mock work. If the interview is conducted via phone, do remember to mock it on the phone.

BC's interview is quite normal, don't be worried, I'm sure you've practiced most of the quesion. U won't screw it up again. Good luck.

Thank you guys!

One friend, who is ABC, told me that in interview, you should make the point and answer questions briefly; if not necessarily, don't tell as many details as in the essay; if the interviewee ask for details or examples, then you answer this updated or followup quiz.

Does it work?

Yes, it does work. I had a mock interview with a Chicago alumni before my real interview. And she strongly recommended to answer the questions briefly with a few bullet points. For example, to answer the question "Why this school", you can answer as "there are mainly three reasons: one, xxxx; two, xxx; three xxx" in a very succinct way. Then "i'd like to elaborate as follows ....." if you deem necessary.

Prioritize your answers, i.e. answer the most important point first.

Don't go to each point in too much detail (as you write in essays) unless the interviewer ask you to further explain. Otherwise, he/she may get lost.

Practice makes perfect. Write down the answers of the frequently asked questions, recite if you are not confident on your English fluency. It will help you a lot in your real interview even you don't have to recite as accurately as written in your answers.

Practice diligently at home in front of mirror. Keep smiling! 

Mock interview will be of a great help as the interviewer may find your weakness that you would have never realized by practicing yourself.

Good luck!
