Hey, might be late with my answer, idk, and i do not stutter myself so i cant know what youre going through but: A college interview, as far as I know, is meant to assess your capabilities and if you are worthy to go to that college. I might be mistaken as I do not live in the UK, but from what I know, that is how it is. Assuming you have prepared for the interview and know all you need to know, they do not have a valid reason to be mad at you or to say unnice stuff to you. So. As long as those on the other side of that desk are decent people, they will patiently sit there, and listen to you telling them what you know, or whatever else they want to hear from you. A stutter might impede on your chances if you were to go to, idk, rhetorics, but you are going for construction. Your mechanical knowledge and *maybe* your physical prowess will matter here. Not speaking abilities. You said they probably have experience interviewing stutterers. That is good, and even if they dont, stuttering isnt *that* rare. Assuming these are older adults, they have probably met a few stutterers in their life. So you wont be their first. And it is, as others have said, quite useful to state in the beginning of your interview that you stutter, and have social anxiety, hence you are nervous. Now why did I, a non stutterer who hasnt ever been in that situation (im not in that age yet, in my country college and uni interviews are done when youre 19), comment here and say this stuff? Idk. But many people i have talked to told me that i have talent in speaking to people and with analysing social situations and getting the best out of them, and giving advice to others on how to do the same. So I thought maybe I can be of some help. If the stuff above was bs, I apologise. And if I can be of some advice on what to do, wear, what to say, etc, in an interview, feel free to DM me. (And I would be very happy to learn more about how the school system and the such works over there, idk, thats just a personal interest of mine, but thats of secondary importance.)
