13 Ways to Screw up Your College Interview

Written By Ian McWethy

Directed By Dr. Stephenson

When two college recruiters at a prestigious university need to fill one last spot to keep their jobs,

thirteen eccentric, dimwitted and slightly-insane high school seniors are eager to come in for an

interview. What seems like a simple task turns into a nightmare when the applicants turn out to be a

reality TV star, a practicing vampire, an amateur magician, and others that are much, much worse. Each applicant's interview hilariously illustrates

what NOT to do at a college interview.
