<p>is it ok to bring supplemental materials to the interview such as a resume or a scrapbook you did for a scholarship?</p>
<p>i’m not an impromtu speaker so i’m just hoping i don’t get killer questions. i have a hard time organizing my thoughts on the spot although i know my answer. </p>
<p>good luck to everyone else doing interviews… :)</p>
<p>i think supplementary stuff should be fine.</p>
<p>and don't worry. interviewers are expecting nervous, awkward high school seniors, not seasoned orators. just be genuine, and you'll do great.</p>
<p>"don't worry. interviewers are expecting nervous, awkward high school seniors, not seasoned orators"</p>
<p>Yes, not to worry. The interviews are not like some Harvard ones I have heard about, where everyone's wearing suits and ties. Just do your best, and get it over with.</p>
<p>My sister's an interviewer for Brown. She said that interviews barely have an impact on admissions decisions. So, I wouldn't worry; even if you bomb the interview, if your other credentials are Brown-worthy, you'll still get in.</p>

<p>LOL! I can vouch for that.</p>
<p>Joey</p>
<p>I scheduled my interview today! I'm so happy. :)</p>
<p>If the interview is in her office, should I wear a suit (or something similar)?</p>
<p>Depends. How old is your interviewer? What kind of job does she have? How formal did she sound on the phone?</p>
<p>I would say no suit, but still nice clothing (sweater, slacks, tie if you want, etc.). You can't go wrong with "smart" casual attire.</p>
<p>Good luck, by the way.</p>
<p>Thanks! :) I've got to make this interview count...</p>
<p>Oh, and it was by email, not phone. And the email was pretty vague: it just said that she gave interviews at her office in San Francisco, and the time for the interview.</p>
<p>You'll do fine.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree with Tore. Don't wear a suit. Brown interviews tend to be more casual, anyway.</p>
<p>Thanks, everyone! :)</p>
<p>Now I'm excited for it.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>I bet you'll do well.</p>
<p>how did it go, calidan?</p>
<p>i'll bet you were excellent!</p>
<p>oh wait, i thought you said your interview <em>was</em> today. nevermind. (i should read posts more carefully.) </p>
<p>but anyways, you will do great.</p>
<p>my interviewer seems a little uptight on details...and made it sound more like a questioning period than an interview. Anyone have any great questions up your sleeve? I am blank.</p>
<p>I didn't have any great questions for the alumna with whom I interviewed; mainly just stuff like:</p>
<p>"How's the food?"
"What is studying abroad like?"
"What are the dormatories like?"
"Are the winters really as bad as everyone around here says?"</p>
<p>Just the usual. You don't need any great questions. Just be genuine, and ask whatever you actually want to know.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the support, guys! This is why I want to go to Brown...</p>
<p>Mmmmmmm.... Brooowwwnnnn. :p</p>
<p>From what I hear, the interview doesn't matter much. But what if the interviewer takes a step furthere and, for example, calls the admission office for you. What if they really support you, then would that make a difference?</p>
<p>anyone??????</p>
