<p>lishnik: yeah u have to pay, or buy the book. U can see most of the lists, but only the rankings, not the stats. Not like business, engineering schools, i think, just Unis, LACs, Comprehensive Cols etc. U can PM me or others if you have a FEW questions about a specific school, or set of rankings, or u could just give US News their money.</p>
<p>whartonalum: this is your field, man. interviews, you're the know-all for this stuff! C'mon, we always need the voice of reason/reality ;)!</p>
<p>Anyone else get contacted for an interview? </p>
<p>Mine's on the 8th at Starbucks, and the alum has been doing this for 15 years, so I'm a bit scared. </p>
<p>Hopefully a latte will give me some much needed energy........and hopefully I won't be bouncing off the walls from the caffeine. </p>
<p>I really like everyone on this board; It'll be terrible when some of us get in and some of us get rejected (:( it's bound to happen).</p>
<p>I'm such a downer........</p>
<p>i'd love an interview, personally. I'm desperate for one, in fact. A chance to explain all this in person, rather than online. </p>
<p>NO. NO. Its not bound to happen! We can all get in! I will not resign to defeat until i see it with me own eyes. </p>
<p>Just don't be hyper in the interview, helix ;)</p>
<p>i haven't been contacted for an interview T_T i hope i am soon though!</p>
<p>and yea, that's true - i'm one of the first in line waiting for "the letter" >.<</p>
<p>i'm right there with u. It's not a line, though, its a queue. Its very bad english to refer to a queue as a line. Pet peeve of mine ;)</p>
<p>you shouldn't have too much trouble getting an interview, 26e. You've got a 1 in 2 chance:) </p>
<p>YES, we all can get in........wouldn't it be amazing? And then we could have a whole get together of CC Penn people, and get to meet everyone. This has become my surrogate college family in the past few weeks.</p>
<p>I'm one of those people who are very affected by coffee. I start talking at 1000 mph and laughing hysterically and moving around. It gives me a boost right away, so I'll definitely try to keep myself under control. Being hyper would NOT be good, lol</p>
<p>bad english? america has butchered english enough that good english doesn't really exist in the US anymore - it's now just american lol</p>
<p>ok, I spent four days in Nashville with 2 girls who were nuts to begin with. suddenly they find a starbucks? I've never heard someone talk so fast. And jumping on the bed, running around. Madness. MADNESS!!</p>
<p>be careful....</p>
<p>y do i have 1/2 chance?</p>
<p>the Penn CC survivors club @ penn ;)</p>
<p>Usually, half of the applicants get interviews, so 50%. </p>
<p>I'm actually eager for those sleepless nights when we all post the number of hours left, then minutes, then seconds, then ABSOLUTE ANARCHY as everyone posts decisions........I'm weird like that</p>
<p>yeah, but sometimes thats just addition/subtraction of words, and mispronunciation (sp? ouch), which also drives me batty. But to simply ignore a simple semantic matter really annoys me</p>
<p>oh yeah, MASSIVE stress, followed either direct depression or projected depression.</p>
<p>Unless we all get in! :) ;) :D</p>
<p>Am I the only one that doesn't want an interview haha?</p>
<p>um........yes</p>
<p>why wouldn't u?</p>
<p>wow...sorry. the only time i've ever used queue in conversation was when speaking french or thai. i guess i'll add it to my english vocabulary now too~~</p>
<p>for it to be a line, it has to be STRAIGHT. I, for one, have never seen people form a straight line. Even if they did, i still dont think it would be good english. A queue is when you set yourself in an order to do something (bad definition, but its late, whatever)</p>
<p>oo, it's only 7 here ^_^</p>
<p>i'm jealous. idk why, that just means i'd be staying awake 5 hours MORE. i really want 7 hours sleep soon. I'm gonna purge so bad friday night, after my soccer game. my sleep schedule: 11*30-2 PM</p>
<p>haha, don't be jealous ~ i have midterms this week >.< and the added stress of having to turn in the app did not help in the least</p>
<p>I wish i could get an interview, I am in a district in florida that doesn't have a nearby alum, and they won't let me go to Sarasota or Orlando for one...Stupid rural town, i just hope that being from a rural area gets me in!!!</p>
<p>A few Questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Are interviews given on a completely random basis or is it a good sign if you are contacted?<br></li>
<li>Also has the interviewer seen any part of your application or know anything about you?</li>
<li> What is the proper attire for the interview? The interviewer sounded very casual on the phone.</li>
</ol>
