Study abroad interview

I have an interview later this week with the Director of International Programs about my application for studying abroad next year. I'm planning on going to Granada, Spain, and London, England for fall and spring semester, respectively. Pretty much everyone who applies to the study abroad program gets in, especially if they're an international studies major (like I am) and need to study abroad for graduation requirements, but I'd still like to be prepared. I'm not very experienced at all when it comes to interviews. The only information I can find on the school website is that it is going to be about 30 minutes. I'm planning on talking to a few people who have gone through the interview before, but does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing and can give me some general tips? Thanks.

1) Wear something smart and good looking. It'll make you feel more confident if anything.
2) Relax, remember the people interviewing aren't magic or special or any different from you.
3) Eye contact! And smiling.
4) Don't panic. Think about what you're saying, don't blurt out random nonsense because you can't think straight.
Of my 3 interviews, I failed 2 of them. Got an offer from arguably the best one though, so *shrug*.
