Im hoping to apply for degrees soon. Application for the courses im interested in involves an interview which is an extremely important part of the process. Its not my first attempt, I have tried in previous years and have never been accepted so I think it may be the interview thats letting me down. I have had people tell me what to do at interviews and give alot of advice and had practice interviews but my interview skills dont seem any better. No matter how enthusiastic I am about a course I hope to do I dont seem to give that message in interview for some reason. I dont have an official reason to have trouble expressing myself/putting thoughts to words and all that either because I have never actually been diagnosed with anything. I could set the ball rolling for assessment on that but where I live the waiting list is years long publicly and the courses im applying to arent in the same country so by the time I actually get an appointment chances are I could be long gone from the country if all goes well. I have been looking into going private for it but that will take some time too and im still not sure if I definately should. I have family in the area of these colleges so thered still be some familiar faces although id prefer a bit more space than id get if I stayed with them but ive no idea how I would do living alone, the one close friend I have seems worried about the idea of me being totally alone..I dont have any details from him on why. The idea of using college accomodation and sharing a flat with some other random students who I wont meet until moving in sounds absolutely horrible and uncomfortable, although if they were of the same faith as me at least id know they have similar moral standards and wont be holding late night binge drinking sessions or anything. Then theres also the networking side of things, finding others to work with on certain things with and stuff like that.
Any advice on any of this?
