How should I reply to a college interview invitation email?

Hey everyone, just got an interview email from one of my top schools and I'm kind of freaking out. Not really sure how to strike the right tone in my response. Any tips or templates you guys could recommend so I can make a good first impression?

Congratulations on your college interview invitation! It's natural to feel a bit nervous, but responding to the invitation is actually pretty straightforward. You'll want to keep your reply professional, polite, and to the point. Here's a basic template you could use:

Dear [Interviewer's Name],

Thank you for the opportunity to interview with [College Name]. I am very excited about the possibility of attending [College Name] and look forward to discussing my application with you.

Please let me know what dates and times you are available, and I will do my best to accommodate your schedule.

Make sure to respond promptly, ideally within 24 hours, and double-check for any spelling or grammatical errors before you send your email. This shows that you're both eager and respectful of the interviewer's time. Best of luck!
