Talk to current students if you can. Bring grades anyway to be sure. Also, I did not know this until a few months ago but a trainee solicitor told me to never wear a black suit with a white shirt. It looks to much like a waitressing outfit. Be relaxed, calm, enthusiastic, confident and assertive. Not too confident, remember you are there to learn.
Beware of sweatty palms. If you don't understand a question ask them to repeat it. Ask for a moment if you need to think about your answer instead of stumbling and getting stressed. Body language is important. Try not to fold your arms or cross your legs away from them. In some posh unis, the interviewers place you on a higher chair and pretend not to be interested, this is all psychology shit. Don't care about it.
Most importantly: be yourself.
Some people imagine the interviewers naked when they get stressed, it seems to help.
Hopefully this will be somewhat helpful. Emma
