<p>I had a Vassar alumni interview. She asked me where else I was looking at and I went on a long diatribe about McGill and how much it kicked ass. (lol she agreed that it does indeed kick ass).
lol that may have been the moment that I got rejected from Vassar.
Yeah, I was rejected from Vassar...Should I let her know, "Thanks again for the interview. I have decided to attend McGill??" I won't even mention I was rejected. I don't want to seem like I'm bragging...but I know its polite to let teachers who wrote you reccomendations know where you are going. Does the same rule apply for people who take time out of their day to interview you?</p>
<p>bump bump bump bump bump</p>
<p>i doubt they will remember you :-X</p>
<p>She will remember you, interviewers do get a list of who got in , who was waitlisted and who was not accepted. Sometimes students we push for do not get in, there are always a few disappointments</p>
<p>I wouldn't bother. </p>
<p>For all you know, her encouraging you about McGill was her way of being supportive reassuring you that you should follow your heart and all that, and then she turned around and wrote in her evaluation "candidate has heart set on McGill and spent much of the interview telling me how good McGill is; I agreed with her, and think she will be happy there".</p>
<p>It's polite to send a follow-up note or e-mail letting the interviewer know their alma mater's decision and letting them know where you decided to go.</p>
<p>Yes, the alum interviewer will remember you. Alum interviewers are volunteers who interview because they like their alma maters and because they like interacting with young people. </p>
<p>I am an alum interviewer who got an e-mail this week from a student whom I had interviewed who was rejected by my college. The student politely thanked me again for my time (she had sent me a previous thank-you), let me know about my college's decision, and let me know where she's going. I sent her an e-mail back saying nice things about her and the college that she's going to and letting her know that if she'd like to meet for coffee before she goes to college, I'd be glad to do that -- my treat. We had a lot in common, and even though she's not going to my college, I would still be happy to keep in touch.</p>
<p>I'd feel the same way even if she'd been accepted by my college, but decided to turn it down.</p>
<p>Incidentally, interviewers don't necessarily get lists of who's in and out. In my area, only the head of the alumni interviewing committee gets that list.</p>
