<p>I had an interview with an alumni and overall it went okay (not my best but it wasn't horrible).
I got some questions that were sudden, the type of question that seems tricky like what type of coffee do you like, that I was unprepared for and didn't feel as confident answering them.
At the end, (when I was about to ask for her card) the interviewer said she will email me to give me more answers and told me that I can email her whenever I have a question and if I get accepted or not.
But she never emailed me...
Is this is a sign that my interview wen horribly wrong?</p>
<p>No, she probably forgot or is busy. Unfortunately these types of things do happen I wouldn’t read too much into it. Ultimately, unless you were a total @sshat during your interview, it will matter very little in the grand scheme of things.</p>
<p>Hi - Seems to me that you did not leave a lasting impression on the interviewer. Did you send a thank you note afterwards? Might not be such a bad idea to do so routinely after each interview. Also helps interviewers remember you better.</p>
<p>Hey puddingmelody!
Really don’t worry too much about interviews. Unless you were on both extremes of the continuum, interviews don’t really make too much of an impact in the grand scheme of the decisions process, as SBR mentioned. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take them seriously, but some of my interviews that I thought I bombed ended up well. Vice Versa.</p>
<p>puddingmelody: Having served in a large number of Duke alumni leadership positions – including leading undergraduate applicant interviewing teams – I urge you to calm down a bit and consider this matter in an appropriate and realistic context. To you, understandably, the entire college application-admissions-decision process is likely THE BIGGEST concern you have experienced in your very young life. However, to the alum who met with you, your interview is a one of MANY daily responsibilities in a highly time-constrained existence. Obviously, I am sorry that she did not follow-up as she promised, but (as I am sure you will understand) it would be extremely easy for your alumni interviewer simply to have forgotten this relatively inconsequential matter.</p>
