<p>"My best wishes to you whatever the outcome of the Yale application. I know you will do well in your life!"??? I gave him a thanks letter after interviewing. He replied me like this. Is that a good sign or bad sign??</p>
<p>It's a standard pleasantry.</p>
<p>yeah don't read too much into it, he's just wishing you good luck in your future endeavors, whether you get into Yale or not</p>
<p>defer in SCEA
Interview in Feb sounds important to me......I am an international student...</p>
<p>One of my interviewers said this-</p>
<p>"By all means I had a fantastic time. At times I wondered who was being interviewed. Give my regards to ****. [one of my teachers]</p>
<p>Good Luck."</p>
<p>Not sure exactly where that stands...</p>
<p>Yeah I got "I'm sure no matter where you go, you'll do very well".</p>
<p>It's like saying ' no matter where you go, you'll do very well'. Non committal praise, ftw.</p>
<p>The interviewers don't have a large impact on admissions, and their predictions aren't reliable either. Don't try to read too much into any of this.</p>
<p>My Harvard interviewer said that no matter where I go I'd be "stimulated from all angles."</p>
<p>The phrase "That's what she said" jumped into my mind and I started giggling uncontrollably. It wasn't awkward at all.</p>
<p>I really don't think that means anything either way. It's something that is very typically said by interviewers.</p>
<p>ahhh! goldenratiophi! that is ridiculous. can you imagine if you actually said, "that's what she said" ?!?! omg that is really funny.</p>
<p>If I were a Harvard interviewer, and someone had the stones to crack a "That's what SHE said!" joke, I would give them the best report possible.</p>
<p>I've said a similar phrase myself to several applicants. The fact is I want to wish them well (as our conversations are generally very pleasant), but I know that I don't know the student's overall likelihood of getting admitted -- statistically, the odds are stacked against most everyone.</p>
<p>I do wish them well but don't want to needlessly get their hopes up.</p>
<p>Thank you nfro all....</p>
<p>My interviewer said I didn't fit Yale.</p>
<p>He then asked me what other schools I applied to and ripped every other one of those schools.</p>
<p>Don't worry about it. xD</p>
<p>Wow. What a horse's rear your interviewer was...</p>
<p>Sorry, but it's a polite way to say that the interview is not impressive.</p>
<p>I disagree w/Junker's negative assessment. Like I've said, I've used similar words --even with great interviews</p>
<p>One King, that sucks… I’m sorry!</p>
<p>My interviewer said that “on my end, I think you’d be a gret fit for Yale and they would benefit from having you.” But again, I don’t know if this is something of a formality or legit. We spoke for about an hour in his living room (only slightly awkward).</p>
