<p>I am not the most articulate person so I'm very nervous for the interview I'll be having in couple of days. I was wondering, how much of an impact can the interview have on my chance for acceptance? Also, how long are the interviews usually? Do I have to be very formal in my responses?</p>
<p>Also, can someone tell me about the residential college system and why it's good?
Thanks!</p>
<p>It can have a significant impact if very good or very bad, or a negligible impact if it is average. Check out these sites from Yale's guide to interviewers for more info:</p>
