<p>How do they contact for interviews, how is it set up, and how will I know if I can get one?</p>
<p>Has anybody been interviewed yet?</p>
<p>Is there any way I can get one?</p>
<p>i got an email from my interviewer and then called him to set it up</p>
<p>My interviewer called me and then we set up a date. The interview in itself was pretty laid back. I want to go into medicine and my interviewer was a doctor so we had a lot to talk about. It lasted approximately 40 minutes which is between the usual 30 minutes to 1 hour time frame</p>
<p>How long after you got your portal were you contacted?</p>
<p>When do the interviews last until?? I know some schools want everything by february, etc.</p>
<p>how are the penn interview questions? are they serious/casual, talking about your interests, strengths weakness, etc?</p>
<p>and if i live in an inactive committee (as its demarcated on the penn admissions website), i should not expect to be contacted for an interview, correct?</p>
<p>yes tricky, if there are no alums around then you cannot be interviewed</p>
<p>My Intereviewer called my house and we set up the time, place, and date. My interviews this Wednesday, but i’m not worried, my interviewer sounds very friendly and casual so I expect the interview to be the same.</p>
<p>i just had my interview. For its set up, he emailed me and then I called him to set it up. The actual interview was very laidback, I went to his house and although he asked me the standard ?s- why penn, why this major, why medicine, what ecs you do, it turned out to be more of a conversation about myself than a true interview. It lasted an hour and it was enjoyable.</p>
<p>I had my interview today. My interviewer emailed me earlier this week and we set up the date and time.</p>
<p>What kind of q’s are asked during these interviews? I have one later today and I’m kind of nervous.</p>
<p>Should I send a letter to the secondary school committee in my area saying im interested in an interview or would that come off as desperate?</p>
<p>My daughter had her interview today- she was contacted via phone last week in order to schedule it. She thought that it went great. It lasted about an hour.</p>
<p>so is there really nothing i can do to get an interview other than sit and pray i get contacted?</p>
<p>I have a quick question. My interviewer e-mailed me and said he can do the interview on either Feb.3 or Feb.10 at his office. It’s about 3-4 hours away from where I live. Does it make a bad impression or affect my application chances if I reply I couldn’t go or ask for a phone interview.</p>
<p>That’s ridiculous. 3-4 hours away on a weekday?? I would write back and say that seems difficult on a weekday, don’t you think? Can we arrange something or some time more amenable? </p>
<p>Then when he says no, decline.</p>
<p>just had my interview 
the interviewer was really nice and we got along well - he called me yesterday to have my interview today - yeah a little last minute - the interview took place at his house (in his gorgeous living room with a beautiful art collection) and he went to the same high school as me so it as really cool :)</p>
<p>dang… haha i m kinda nervous (even though I had my harvard interview today… which went really really well though). Gud luck guys Let’s do this!</p>
<p>How does it generally go? Do you receive an email then call, or do they call you straight?</p>
<p>Are interviews only for ED applicants or are they offered for RD applicants as well? I’m an international RD applicant and I haven’t got anything yet!</p>
<p>(I’m a RD applicant). I got an e-mail and then called. Monday at Starbucks! And I’m insanely nervous lol</p>
