Congratulations on your interview!
Now, advice---some of this may seem obvious, but I'll say it all, just in case....:
Dress appropriately... You want to show respect for the interviewer (slacks and tie, perhaps even a jacket is good for men; a suit or separates for women).
Don't be arrogant. Be pleasant and friendly. Make eye contact with the interviewer---and sell yourself. Tell them about all the great things you've done. Ask thoughful, interesting questions about the school, and about the application process.
Remember convey your enthusiasm and your interest. Don't come across as: this is all about me.
If your grades and LSATs are half decent, they'll be very receptive---if your grades and LSATs are excellent--they'll be falling all over themselves...(but they won't want to show it). So be enthusiastic...but don't give the store away---if your grades and LSATs are really outstanding, you might get a scholarship--if they think that's what its going to take to get you to come to their school.
Best of Luck!
