I would bring it, certainly no harm in bringing it and not using it. I am planning on bringing one to my Harvard interview, but she also asked that I email my essays to her, so it seems smart to bring more material rather than less. Is being asked for an essay by an interviewer unusual, or should I expect that from any future interviewers?
@butterfreesnd Every interviewer is different. I guess this specific interviewer likes to see a student’s writing ability. Did you express any interest in writing (Major/club) or is it a prominent EC of yours? That could be a factor in your interviewer’s request.
Update: I emailed the alumni and he said bringing one would be fine. Thanks everybody!
