<p>I just had my interview last week. I have already expected I will do bad, but it is just much worse than I think it would be. My EC was very nice actually, much friendlier than I think she would be, but I sure I have completely ruined this good opportunity. I haven't prepare much for the interview, and the only thing I did was figuring my answer to "why MIT?" 15 minutes before my interview started. But to my surprise, my EC didn't ask me about that (don't know if I am lucky that she didn't ask this killer question though). She focused on asking me about my background, interests, etc. But whatever she asked me, my head was like emptied. I don't know what to said, and just start throwing out some nonsense fragments. Even I myself have no idea what I am talking about. But she was nice enough that she pretend (at least I think she is...) like she understand what I trying to say and just keep nodding, which make me feel even worse. And the worst was when she ask me to describe my character, I just kept my month shut completely and staring at space for a minute or two, trying to find a word to say. And I ended up have to skip this question because I just have nothing to answer at all. Then on the second half of my interview, I tried to ask her things about MIT. But there had hardly any discussion going on, I just shut my month and listen to whatever she said. And by the end of it, I don't know if she got bored or annoyed by my questions, although she still kept a nice simile on her face, I have a feeling that she was trying to rush through to end the interview. She told me that usually her interview would take more than an hour, but mine was a little faster than normal, lasted only abound 35 min.</p>
<p>My MIT application as a whole is not competitive at all, and after this interview, I can already foresee my fate. Anyway, I have never thought I will get accepted. I'm just trying to find a place to express my feelings...</p>
