Interview in one hour - really nervous

<p>any tips or advice?</p>

<p>Relax. Interviews aren't going to make or break you at all. It's more of an opportunity for you to ask questions/get to know Duke. They don't really use them in admissions.</p>

<p>Just enjoy yourself, be personable, and ask questions.</p>

<p>Yea it went fine. Lasted about 20 min probably since my interviewer seemed really busy. But I'm just happy its done with.</p>

<p>Just as long as you defeated Andross and saved the Lylat System all is well.</p>

<p>^^^Words to live by</p>

<p>I didn't even know one could get an interview in NM!</p>

<p>Just to set the record straight, interviews are evaluative, and from what I understand, they are used in admissions as another type of recommendation. However, that doesn't mean one needs to be nervous about them--the interviewers generally try to put the applicant at ease. Interviews are to get to know the students on a more personal level and hopefully learn something special about them that may not be conveyed through the paper application. Just be yourself and be honest with your responses. Good luck.</p>

<p>Dur... ignore my previous comment. Somehow I got it into my head that lavaplatos made this topic which is why I referenced NM.</p>

<p>Oh and defeating Andross is good and all but you also need to save the princess. Though you'll find if you get into Duke that she is actually in another castle.</p>

<p>Gotta do a barrel roll.</p>

<p>On a more serious note, mine was about 45 minutes at a Starbucks.</p>

<p>My guy talked (caffeine kick from a prior interview, and he was still guzzling down another grande size) a lot so it lasted about an hour and a half. Still, he tried to keep the situation casual and, in my opinion, made me really think that Duke was something for me.</p>

<p>Mine lasted for about 2 hours at his house. We had a great conversation.</p>
