Communicate this. College interviewers see about fifty of you per week. There is nothing you can do that they won't have seen before. Your absolute best practice is to genuinely convey who you are, because they know what they're looking for better than you'll ever be able to determine. Remember - they're lucky to have you, not the other way 'round, so be honored, flattered, open and appreciative of their time. As to "gotcha" questions ('what's your biggest weakness?') I'd argue that being able to truthfully say "I haven't thought about it much" has the advantage of honesty while also deflecting a ham-handed attempt to rattle you. With any luck, they won't be adversarial like that. It benefits no one.I'm so goddamn psyched!
