Make sure you don’t procrastinate when it comes to applications or schoolwork in general. Join clubs that fit your passions, and don’t worry too much about selecting a major. Choose one when you realize you like it. For example, I decided to study business after joining DECA. While the interview is not the most essential part of the application, make sure you are prepared; during my first interview I was surprised when the interviewer asked me if I had any questions.
