<p>I haven't done yet, but I am curious about this.
Does it mean that the longer interview one had, the better he did on it?</p>

<p>This is generally a good sign for any interview, especially if it is a real back-and-forth discussion. Jr's MIT interview is tomorrow night. I'll try to remember to report how it went.</p>
<p>Mine was moderately unusual, about 20 minutes long, since my twin had gone for an interview about a week earlier and the interviewer kind of wrapped it up early saying that he had got much of his info from my brother. Bit strange, certainly, but quite good...</p>
<p>My son's interviewer asked me to come back in 45 minutes. They were still talking when I came back. I was relieved he could talk that long!</p>
<p>mine went on for about 2.25 hrs.</p>
<p>WOw mine went for 45 lol. I thought mine was long.. oh well. I was the first guy to get interviewed iirc by that guy. He had 0 questions really for me. It was pretty boring but i asked a LOT of questions about MIT.</p>
<p>Mine was almost two hours long... but, it was a nice day and we sat outside on a park bench to do it, and we really got into a deep political discussion (Barack Obama was making a speech in my town that night, and we were in the midst of a tight Congressional race).</p>
<p>mine was about 45 min.</p>
<p>2.5 hrs...hehehe</p>
<p>So here's the deal...
My friend got in and he said his went for about 3 hours. The guy he interviewed with said it was an awesome interview.</p>
<p>Yet, my interview went for an hour, and the interviewer said that mine was the best she's had for seven years (and she does a lot of interviews each year)</p>
<p>Anyway. If a 3 hour interview can be awesome and a 1 hour interview can be really good, then im sure the length cant matter too much :)</p>
<p>one interviewer consistently did 3 hours for everyone from my school- i think it depends on the interviewer</p>
<p>mine was about 2 hrs and 30-45 mins. i showed up early to mine but my EC took me in anyway. so we started about 10 mins early. i sorta lost track of time. we talked non-stop and when we both looked at the clock i was surprised to see how much time had already passed. it was a pleasant experience yet i felt like i could have said or worded many things better. eh...no point in rationalizing now, my EA decision is coming out in less than 5 days now...too late to do anything about my interview. but good luck to those doing RA =] btw, if u talk for more than an hr, i think it's a good sign.</p>
<p>1.5 to 1.75 hours.....</p>
<p>My interviewer showed up ~15 minutes late however, and that also includes a cell phone conversation with someone of [hopefully] great importance. I wouldn't want to think that she was talking to them because she didn't want to talk to me -_-</p>
<p>Mine was about an hour. I thought it was pretty good, but I'm not too good at casual conversation so we mostly just talked about the stuff on my resume... I think it's pretty hard to have an absolutely horrible interview, really..</p>
<p>45 min or so, 10-15 of which was talking about black holes and gravity waves :)</p>
<p>3+ hours (and I didn't ask a lot of questions). He was doing the questioning part.
But at least he helped me with a cup of ice-tea. That was very nice of him and quite helpful, to be honest ;)</p>
