<p>Isn’t it interesting how we each had one enthusiastic, one so-so, and one less than okay response from our interviewers? HOW DID YOU GET VICTORIA TO LIKE YOU? Haha, everyone I talked to that had her said she grilled them or made them feel incompetent. But I noticed that she singled you out and asked you a question in the debate about the death penalty. I was like, “Whoa, she seems to like her! It’s possible!” </p>
<p>I can’t really think about being rejected right now. I know it’s a possibility, and I feel like I didn’t really show the things I wanted to show about myself yesterday, but I have become so incredibly invested in this movement that if I’m rejected I have no idea what will happen to my senior year…or me. </p>
<p>Travelcrazed, where was your interview site? How was it?</p>
<p>lol, I didn’t realize Victoria was so hard on everybody! I guess I got lucky with her. We just sort of clicked. I mentioned something about salmon cakes in my interview and she mentioned that her family has them once a week. I talked about loving to read and she made reference to my mention of Ishmael on my application really excitedly. I dunno. I got the feeling that she really liked my application to start with. </p>
<p>Honestly, I’m not very hopeful at all. Like I said, I thought I was way too quiet. And in my interview I rambled a LOT which I don’t think was the best thing to do. Who knows? Maybe I have a better chance than I think, but I doubt it. Oh, do all the interviewers have a say in selection? Or is that just selection committee? Or is everyone who interviewed on the selection committee? lol I’m counting on Victoria’s good opinion :p</p>
<p>Not just Victoria either. I’m banking on Andrew and Evans too because I had really good conversations with them that morning. I mean, every time somebody talked to us they were essentially evaluating us… so maybe I have a better chance than I think? lol Anyway, who all in our group do you see getting in?</p>
<p>I really hope this isn’t a cruel joke, but I just got an email saying I was accepted to a UWC (rather not specify which one for stalker-ish reasons)!! I’m still in disbelief, waiting for an email with a subject line reading, “Oops, we’re so sorry. Just kidding.” Hopefully I don’t have a heart attack before signing the David Schoar agreement :D.</p>
<p>Sorry to hear that :(. You’ll probably end up at a great college next year with plenty of study abroad options. The interview was a good experience nonetheless.</p>
<p>Thanks. I have a backup, and I think it’s going to come through. I’m staying positive and plan on having an amazing senior year, and then hopefully going to Swarthmore in 2010.</p>
<p>Travelcrazed, where are you heading? PM me.</p>
<p>first of all, congrats to everyone that got in;) I was wondering if anyone knew if it’s possible to apply in grade 12. Right now I’m in Switzerland on a Rotary exchange (would be my grade 11 year) and plan on doing grade 12 back in Canada. I would be within the age range when I apply next year (I’ll be 18) and if anybody knows has any info on whether you can apply in grade 12 I’d be really grateful.</p>
