<p>I got an email inviting me for a phone interview this week.
I’m anxious! what is an Amherst Interview like? Anyone had already been interviewed?</p>
<p>I thought Amherst didn’t do interviews?</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>^ I thought so too. I thought the supplement said something like “because we don’t offer interviews, be sure to show us your true self through this.”</p>
<p>Something like that…</p>
<p>Yeah – “We do not offer interviews as part of the application process at Amherst. However, your essays provide you with an opportunity to speak to us. Please keep this in mind when responding to one of the following quotations.” (Source: Common App Amherst Supplement)</p>
<p>alright~ I’m international. Maybe Amherst only gives interviews to intl applicants?</p>
<p>I heard somewhere (?) they offer courtesy interviews to legacy applicants. I have no idea if it’s true, but that’s the only thing I’ve heard of with regards to interviews.</p>
<p>Stheno, which country?</p>
<p>Haha. Stheno, are you sure you’re not mistaking Amherst College for University of Massachusetts (Amherst)? I’m 100% sure that Amherst does not offer interviews, phone or not.</p>
<p>Nope,#8, I’m not mistaking~~</p>
<p>What is it? No one ever knows about it? Maybe it was a ghost who interviewed me…</p>
<p>No, but I wish I had. Lol.</p>
<p>I’m Chinese, Gary7.</p>
<p>Ah, congrats!</p>
<p>Congrats? For what?</p>
<p>For being offered an interview?</p>
<p>I heard that Stanford is starting to do some pilot interviews this year (not that I applied there) - maybe Amherst is doing the same thing? </p>
<p>Or they just wanted to clear up some things? </p>
<p>It can’t be bad news!</p>
<p>Well, in that case - best of luck to you!</p>
<p>And I thought Gary was saying “Congrats” for your being Asian. Too funny.</p>
<p>LOL I’m an Asian(Indian) myself, so that would be pretty weird :P</p>
<p>Stheno:
I am offered an interview too! I am also a Chinese applicant. I have asked admission officers, it’s true that they offer interviews to Chinese students. What’s the name of the alumni who contact you???</p>
<p>International interviews…<em>sigh</em>
Goodluck, ark :)</p>
