<p>Do you have to Submit Part 1 of your application before you contact your alumni interviewer?</p>
<p>Or do you go into the interview without the alumni knowing ANYTHING about you?</p>
<p>You do not have to submit Part 1 first, and even if you do, the interviewer does not know anything about you when you go into the interview (at least, I am pretty sure my interviewer had not seen my Part 1 even though I did submit it before having the interview). Hehe, therefore, be prepared for a first question of "Tell me about yourself" - at least, that was the first thing my EC asked me.</p>
<p>All my EC knew about me was my name, address, and email.</p>
<p>My son had only submitted part one of the application, and took a resume with him, but the interviewer didn't want any of that info, just wanted to base everything he submitted on the interview.</p>
<p>when i requested an interview with my EC, i hadn't submitted Part 1, and he basically said I had to submit it before I could get an interview scheduled</p>
<p>it may not be true for every EC though</p>
<p>My interviewer knew what high school I go to</p>
<p>That is becuase the interviewers are assigned based on high schools..I noticed this during the MIT presentation in the bay area..</p>
<p>I am an interviewer. I see nothing, absolutely nothing, of what any applicant sends to MIT. But that isn't a bad thing. If the admissions interview is any good, it will probably cover stuff that isn't elsewhere on the application anyway.</p>
<p>DS was asked to bring a resume. The interviewer looked at it briefly, and they leaped into an animated chat. No worries.</p>
