Dean's List advice

Hi, I'm fairly new to this forum. Though I've used it for programming help in the past, I've never actually had an account.

I've been nominated for Dean's List this year for the Lake Superior Regional in northern MN. Tomorrow I'm scheduling an interview at the regional. I've been nominated because I am our sole programmer (LabVIEW currently, learning C++) since our other programmer just decided to leave in 2014. I learned LabVIEW primarily on my own. I also developed and maintain our website (tnt3102.org), run all of our communications (Facebook, Twitter, G+, Email), lead our media team (or what little we have of it), organize our Kickoff and Week Zero events, and CAD pieces of our robot for presentation and printing.

I'm usually doing something with robotics (including the dreaded inventory) at least weekly during the summer and fall (this year I also have to organize an off-season). On top of all this, I somehow find time to work (assistant to the IT guy at our school) and take college credit classes.

I have no reason to be surprised being selected for Dean's List, but honestly I've been too involved in working on the robot to remember that this award exists. Now I'm going in for an interview tomorrow, but I have no idea how to go about doing it. I'm great at public speaking and can talk for a while about what I do and our team and bot, but I'm not sure if there are specific things I should touch on to get a better chance of winning? What types of questions do they usually ask? Since the interview is only eight minutes, how do I squeeze all of this in?

Thanks!
