Last year I was wait listed for my first choice Masters program, but unfortunately didn't get in (but I am currently in a great program!). I just got a call today from the grad school and they have short listed me again so I have an interview next weekend. Seeing as this was the spot that I didn't ace last time around Im really nervous about it. What tips can anyone give me so that I do exceptionally well this time? Any experience from anyone who has done Masters interviews would be greatly appreciated!

My M.Ed. interview was pretty quick and easy. The questions asked were more informational questions about why you want to teach versus right/wrong questions. Just make sure you show your enthusiasm for kids, lifelong learning, and willingness to commit and work hard. You may want to research some of the professors who teach in the program and any of their professional work so you can add in being excited to work with "so and so" who "did whatever groundbreaking in ed..." Good luck!

Do you remember any of the specific questions from last year? Or why you think that's the part that went poorly? If you can give us a bit more information about how the interview will work or what you think your weaknesses are, we can give you better ideas about how to ace it this time.

That said, I agree with highlanddncr that being enthusiastic (but genuine!) is important. You want to try to balance confidence with a willingness to learn. Things that in general can achieve this:
-Speak clearly, trying to avoid too many vocalized pauses (like "um" and "uh")
-Try not to make every sentence sound like a question (don't use rising intonation at the end of every phrase!)
-Don't be afraid to ask a question if you're not sure you understand something -- though the more specific you can be, the better. (e.g., it's better to say "I'm sorry, are you asking me XYZ?" than to say "Uh, I don't know what you mean.")

Also, given that you were shortlisted last year, they may be particularly likely to be interested in what you've been doing in the intervening year. Be prepared to explain what it is that you've been doing in your current program (and sound intelligent about it, so they know you're applying yourself!), and why the new program would be an even better fit for you.
