<p>Had my interview yesterday! Don’t worry everyone, the questions weren’t too bad and were just meant to gauge your problem solving ability!</p>

<p>I had my interview last week and it wasn’t bad! Don’t be worried!</p>

<p>@savethetrees‌ @janesmithwhee‌ @wiscbadger‌ </p>

<p>Did they ask programming questions? like for Java?
Or are the questions like general mathematical questions?</p>

<p>I’m not going to give away specific question because I don’t think that’s fair. However, I believe that they ask you about what they think you know based on what you talked about and indicated in your application. For example, they aren’t going to ask you about JavaScript if you indicated you didn’t know anything about it. They want to know about your technical aptitude more than anything and your general interest in the program. Don’t stress! My interviewer was really nice and made me feel super comfortable and not nervous at all. You’re all going to do great! Good luck :)</p>

<p>It went okay! The questions weren’t too bad - not too technical but still required thinking. Good luck to everyone else :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I had my interview on the 18th. From what I gather from my own interview, and from friends who have interviewed, there are two main technical questions, from which follow up questions sometimes spawn. One is about sorting lists, and the other is about components of a search engine.</p>

<p>I also had my interview on the 18th! Do you guys know when we’ll know if we got in? And if they tell us by phone or email? I’m so phsyched, nervous and anxious at the same time…</p>

<p>@Marinozai‌ my questions were not like those… at all… if they were, my interview would’ve been so much easier</p>

<p>@janesmithwhee really? mine were also like Marinozai’s, like, about sorting lists, but they were actually not THAT easy, they were very abstract. I don’t think there are right or wrong answers to them. I guess those types of questions are just for making sure you’re a normal person and you have a logic way of thinking. Do you guys think you did well overall? I’m so unsure about how they pick people out…</p>

<p>Welp, didn’t get picked for Generation Google :/</p>

<p>Does anyone know when we get notified if we get to go?? I’m so nervous.</p>

<p>I got selected! I’m going to Seattle!</p>

<p>@JSTArollin That’s so exciting! Did you get a phone call?</p>

<p>Accepted!!! Going to Boston</p>

<p>@wiscbadger24 Yes, phone call.</p>

<p>@FrancescaB @JSTArollin‌ did you guys have the interview on the first day(s)? just so we know if they’re calling the accepted ones at a random order or by date of interview…</p>

<p>Tell us more guys!! Were you surprised or sth to be accepted or did you know you had done well on the interview? i’m so nervoooouss lol</p>

<p>I dont usually go on CC but I’m too excited.
Got into Mountain View! YAY GOOGLEPLEX :)</p>

<p>I’m feeling the same way @luisfl97!</p>

<p>also, my interview was the second to last day of the interview process
I got a call and maybe got a little too excited. The woman on the phone sounded very bored :stuck_out_tongue: but my family is pretty happy. It was surprising, now I’m glad I didnt go to the calc study session</p>
