Just wanted to remind all my fellow rejects who might still be lurking here of the unmatched applicant pool: https://agcpd.org/AdmissionsInfo 
This year you just have to fill out an online survey starting on Thursday, in past years it was up to you to contact all of the programs by email or phone to inquire if they filled all spots. If any programs happen to not fill up, you can reach out to them and attempt to apply. I'm going to be quite honest, I did this last year and contacted every program, 1 wasn't filled yet. I put in a lot of work to put together a statement and get all my materials together only to be rejected again. I'd say it's worth a shot, but definitely don't start planning your future on this.
Best of luck to everyone on here and congrats to all who have gotten acceptances. 

I got my interview invite to CSU Stanislaus today! Anyone else?

I just give a quick overview of main points from my education/work background - where I went to school, what I studied, one or two notable work experiences and what those entailed. 
I also avoid anything "personal" like family, hobbies, hometown, etc..I did a mock interview last cycle with a clinical psych professor who I was a research assistant for and her advice was to try and keep everything discussed to mostly professional experiences/accomplishments that are unique to you (unless of course the interviewer asks you a more personal question!) She also said that "tell me about yourself" is a good moment to highlight what experiences were most important to you, not just rattling off bullet points from your CV/personal statement. 
I keep it brief, only like a minute or so to refresh on what my background experiences are. Some interviewers don't have notes/papers/questions prepared in front of them, if this is the case a lot of what they ask you about following this question will be based off of whatever you brought up.
