<p>A note to lindseylujh: As it turns out, you were right! I didn't have to worry at all; my interviewer just called to schedule. Patience really is a virtue, I guess.</p>

<p>Newt, I think the lack of notes is probably a good thing. You thought your interview went well, and if you have a good sense for that kind of thing, it probably explains the lack of note-taking as well. Maybe your interviewer was really comfortable with how your conversation went. I can't think of any reason why a lack of notes would be a bad thing, really. Anyway, good luck to both you and your friend!</p>

<p>Yay! I'm so glad it worked out for you. </p>

<p>Now if only my interviewer would call or email...:(</p>

43

<p>Thanks guys, I don't know... I'll just have to wait and see :).</p>

44

<p>Agh... tie?!? should I wear one or not!</p>

45

<p>YES! Khaki's, button down, and a tie</p>

46

<p>i just got contacted today by the chair of the Philadelphia chapter Yale Alumni association, my interiewer should call within the week! yay! its so exciting! im glad I got another interview... but now i have to come up with an appropriate outfit and worry about not spilling a soda! lol</p>

47

<p>good luck to you all! ::still waiting::</p>

48

<p>Just had my interview. It was fine. Very relaxed and informal. Good luck to all you guys :)</p>

49

<p>Still no contact on the interview front. And seeing how I sent my application, umm...the first week of October, I don't quite understand this. I have pretty much given up on getting an interview and getting into Yale. Good luck to all who have been contacted!</p>

<p>I'm confused too, flachica. And I live in WYOMING. I am certain the ASC is not overwhelmed with applicants to interview.</p>

51

<p>to all those who've already had their interviewer.. what sort of questions were you asked? or was it more or a let-the-conversation-flow-in-whatever-direction-it-wants-to sorta thing?
my interview is this wednesday! the day before thanksgiving. Hopefully the holiday spirit will put my interviewer in a charitable mood. =)</p>

<p>Just got back from my interview. I knew the guys son from XC and track so we talked about running for a while. He seemed really impressed that I've been on campus four times... and we talked about the architecture of each of the colleges for a while which was really cool. All in all it went very well. But, he did ask me about SAT's and GPA and rank which I didn't particularly like but oh well.</p>

53

<p>or maybe nobody within a 200 mile radius of you is an alum... that could make things difficult too. ...</p>

54

<p>The interview goes wherever the conversation takes you. They want to match the person you are on paper with the person you are in real life. I would assume the stronger the connection between the two, the better.</p>

55

<p>Just got back from my interview. Terrifying. I actually had a lot of fun (and although she was serious nearly the whole time, she laughed a lot at a story I told! Yay!), but for some reason I didn't get the feeling that the interview went well. Those of you who didn't get an interview... I'm kinda jealous. Ack!</p>

<p>How many days until we can check online, now?</p>

<p>(Edited because I randomly left out a few words... Awesome.)</p>

56

57

i have one in my room, one in my planner and one on the family calendar. lol</p>

58

<p>as if you guys aren't counting down in your heads?</p>

59

<p>But have you downloaded a countdown timer for your desktop yet? Ah, I'm getting extreme....</p>

=21.23 days</p>

<p>why torture yourselves so much? There so many other things I need to be thiking about now so I'm trying not to be preoccupied with Yale.</p>
