asked a million times, but i still screw up interivews :(

<p>Kosuke - from what you have said, you really have no real reason to conclude your interview with Pomona went badly. I think that especially with Senior college students and with local alumni interviewers, as opposed to admissions officers, applicants can tend to come away feeling insecure. They somehow just don't seem as able to reassure or relax the applicant, but that does not necessarily mean a bad outcome overall, or even that you got a poor write-up. My D's first ever interview was with a Senior and she was sure that the interviewer truly disliked her - that she completely blew the interview. She had other subsequent interviews with older alumni or admissions officers and felt a little better about all of them. Several months later, after she failed to even apply to the school where she had her first interview she received a personal letter encouraging her to apply and saying that the interviewer had identified her as a highly recommended candidate. </p>

<p>I am glad the WUSL interview went well! But don't fret too much about the Pomona interview either- I am not sure what Pomona's policy is, but often the interview is of less weight in the entire picture than other components and while a great interview might ice the cake, a so-so interview might not really hurt an otherwise strong candidate. Northstarmom and others have a better feel for that, but that is the impression many schools gave about the interview.</p>
