How important are interviews at Penn?

<p>Had an alumni interview yesterday which I think went not so well. (At the end he told me I'd be happy wherever I end up and about my other applications). So how much do alumni interviews count for Penn? Thanks for any help...freaking out a little bit.</p>

<p>I bet it went better than you think. I think it’s kind of a compliment that he thinks you can be happy wherever you end up. Anyways, I’ve always heard that a not-so-great interview shouldn’t hurt, and that even an amazing interview can only help minimally. As long as you didn’t come off as rude, or a jerk, or as super arrogant or completely clueless you should really be fine. I’m sure that, at worst, you probably just came off as a bit nervous or something. </p>

<p>Best of luck and I wouldn’t freak out about the interview too much! :)</p>
