"You Never Get a Second Chance to Make a First Impression"
Dress for the occasion!dress nicely/smartly. Be sure to dress appropriately in a shirt and tie for your interview. Do not look disheveled or have a sloppy appearance.

Maintain good eye contact! On the field, you look your opponent in the eye with confidence. Be sure to keep good eye contact with your interviewer and smile from time to time.

Be on time! You wouldn't be late for a game, so never be late for an interview!

Sit up tall! It is quite common to be a little nervous during an interview, but try not to display too much nervous energy. Sit up tall and try not to fidget. Try to use some of the relaxation techniques that you would use prior to a big game. This will help you maintain your focus.

Speak clearly! A quiet or hesitant voice may demonstrate a lack of confidence. Speak in an appropriate tone so that the interviewer can hear and understand you.

Mock interviews with a friend, parent, teacher, or guidance counselor may also help you feel more prepared for your interview. Below are some questions that the interviewer may ask you.

Good luck!
I also soon got a interview for A level. ;)

Dress at least in jeans, it doesn't have to be formal but it helps if you make yourself presentable. Dress like a student there, or more formal. But don't go in a suit if you're applying to a vocational or computer science course in the UK, you'll feel awkward.

Research the University, and look for nice things to say about it.

Practice, practice, practice. They're going to ask you about favorites if it's the UK (who's your favorite author, director, etc). Or they'll ask something else related to your subject (multiculural influx on geopolitical... depending on which subject you're studying).

If you really want to impress them, read a book by the professor who's interviewing you.

Again, be positive. Look for good things in the University, and how you'll fit in there.

practise in front of a mirror, and when you think you can do that, then ask for help from a friend of family member, and get them to ask the sort of questions that they ask in an interview.
