Are interviews optional?

<p>Note to self: memorize obscure book before interview.</p>

<p>wow that’s terrible to lie like that. i was talking with my interviewer about othello, and i felt funny going into specifics because i had literally just finished it the day before in english and i wasnt sure if she was familiar with it. so i just said iago was really bad and i didn’t like him.</p>

<p>northstar mom: do interviewers get a copy of our applications (essays)? I’m wondering because my essays are awfully personal and during one interview, I neglected to mention something that I wrote about when asked about any hardships I’ve overcome (even though that’s what the essay was about)</p>

<p>^ I am under the impression that the interviewers do not have a copy of the essays or application. I believe this because my daughter had carried with her her resume but also a packet that contained her ap with essays and such. Her interviewer took it all. Not just the resume. BUT my assumption could be wrong.</p>
