HIGHSCHOOL SPECIALTY CENTERS
So I am 13 and am in eighth grade and I applied for a specialty center for the health sciences. I am so nervous. My interview date is January 19th, 2013. I need help on interview wear because I have chosen just a plain shirt, a nice jacket that is very interview worthy (VERY) and some concert black pants.
The second thing I need help on is how should I go through the interview like this? I want to become a doctor and I get honor roll and good grades, but I don't know much about health sciences. Like I just understand the gist and if they ask me questions that I need to answer on the spot than I will probably be slow because I need to think through things. There will be one judge and three people including me. I know how to enter and exit, shake hands, thank them for their time and keep eye sight.
The very last thing I need is help on my interest servery. I am probably just going to answer all the answers they want, because if I don't like certain things then I'm not made for that school and I HAVE to get into this school. If don't my dreams will shatter. And I need help. At open house in my group there were about 10 of us. like 8 out of 10 of them were in Honors Society. I'm not in H.I. and I need to get in. They have a bunch of volunteer time and I mean what the heck, were only in middle school and they give more opportunities to the special kids who are gifted and field trips. So I mean my parents can't drive me everywhere to get volunteer time. It's unfair. So I have to show these people that I am worth giving these special opportunities too, I will give it my all, then give more. I will try my hardest and be the best and I will shine. I want to succeed. I can't do that if I look foolish or childish or fail my interest survey and answer questions and be very open and active in the interview.
Thank you in advance and please help me.

Well I was going to say how mature for your age you sounded...untill I read the bit about gifted peole getting all the opportunities.
If you take that attitude then it won't do you any favours-as a doctor you have to be much more empathetic than that!
Anyway...you need advice.
In terms of the handshake bit. Don't shake an interviewers hand first-they always go first as they are in the position of authortiy. At least that's what we do in England.
But make sure the handshake is firm, should you shake hands-it shows confidence. When you walk out, try not to never have your back to the interviewer. Don't walk backwards! But try to be side on-you can practice this, as it shows your an open person. As for eye contact-get the balance right. Much like a first date-too much and its scary, too little and it looks like disinterest.
So long as you smile and are able to maintain healthy eye contact, your body language is telling the interviewer that you like them, and they will warm to you more.
As for the interests bit of the question-you need to find your own examples to express your interest. If you can not pysically get anywhere, then write a blog about it, write articles online about the subject, even carry out some research. Even if you don't intend to publish it, it shows that you are interested, and also if you do stuff other kids havn't done, you'll get noticed.
You have to act mature, be confident, be smiley, and be intelligent.
