Hi I have been shortlisted for the interview at the University I applied. Can you guys help me with any suggestions or any advice or any help? Or any questions that are commonly asked and I should be prepared for?

Question

You will need to demonstrate that you are truly enthusiastic about your chosen course of study. 
Show passion and determination. 
Demonstrate that you have already started study in whatever field you have chosen, by reading or online tutorials etc.
Know where you are going and what you will do when you get there.
Give credit to those who have developed your interests either personally or through their teaching/writing - know the people in your field. 
( Are any of your future teachers prominent in this? )
DO NOT be a know all, show that you want to know.
Good luck.

Wow Thanks cryptic, I have a few more questions regarding the interview. The most fearing question to me i s "Tell us about yourself" I really dont know how to answer it?

anonymous · Answer

Yes, that's always a bit scary.
Be honest - you can be undone by anything you've written on Facebook or similar site.
Try to keep the answer related to your future - ie your dreams, "I am or have done this so I can do this or that"
Practice before you go in - stand in an empty room and speak out loud. Repeat this over and over.
Now give your answer to the above to a friend or even a relative stranger - practice.
Even though you now know the answer and can repeat it DO NOT be cocky - humility works.....sometimes.
