<p>Hey, so I don't think the ED kids started one but I figured I'd create a thread discussing alumni interviews.</p>
<p>But if you applied ED, feel free to share with us RD kiddies how your interviews went!</p>
<p>Just wondering, how soon after we submit our app do we usually get contacted for an interview?</p>
<p>Im applying RD and i already had my interview.
It was weird, I got contacted to set up an interview a few days after I submitted my common app (around December 13th) and I hadn't even submitted my supplement yet stating that I wanted an alumni interview. <em>shrugs</em></p>
<p>^Whoa, that's strange. How did it go, if you don't mind me asking?</p>
<p>It went pretty well, I was really nervous but it was wicked comfortable. It wasn't super formal or anything, just easy conversation. She just asked me about my hobbies, my family, etc. Mine was only about 30-40 minutes.</p>
<p>ED I, I got my alumni Interview call on November 11 (Veteran's Day), which was 11 days after I submitted everything. It's all up to when your interviewer contacts you and when the interviewer gets your information. </p>
<p>Mine went super. Mine lasted about one hour, it would have lasted a bit longer if she didn't have a meeting to go to. It was super casual and conversational. No need to worry. Just be yourself. Don't try to impress someone with something you are not.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if this is weird but do RD kids already have interviews?? I'm applying RD to like 10+ schools and haven't had a single interview yet. I've only received one call from Hahhvad and we scheduled it for mid-Jan. Do interviews for RD occur during Jan or before? I'm kind of scared then.</p>
<p>i had 6 interviews already for RD, but i also applied to Tufts and i did not get contacted yet! my Georgetown interview got very very very well... the guy even told me that he is going to put me a 9/9!and he asked to meet my mom who was waiting for me in the car , he told my mom how proud she must be to have such a daughter!! i am very happy with my day.. today!! my next one will be friday for Columbia and saturday for u of Chicago..good luck everybody!!</p>
<p>I had my interview awhile after I submitted my application and supplement, and I was an RD applicant when I submitted originally, but I actually had just changed to EDII. I don't think it changed anything about the interview though. My interviewer was really cool; he just asked me a bunch of questions about myself, both academic and non and I talked almost the entire time. It was pretty informal overall, and lasted about 55 minutes.</p>
<p>I assume most interviews are at Tufts right? I get confused because my Cornell interview was actually over the phone...</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure they only offer alumni interviews, which are with alumni in your area (and are not at Tufts).</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm dumb, don't know why I'm even applying...</p>
<p>Yep, I second hebrewhammer.</p>
<p>Check the website.</p>
<p>So i just had mine...</p>
<p>I think it went pretty well- well wasn't terrible. She asked why i chose tufts, my extracurricular activities, where I see myself later on in life, what classes I am currently taking...</p>
<p>I mean it wasn't a bad interview, I'm not just sure if it really added anything. WHAT EVER ITS DONE! =)</p>
<p>So on that TAMS website where there is a "committee" listed with your hometown and someone's local phone number/email address, are you supposed to send an email to that person to set up an interview?</p>
<p>Aren't they supposed to e-mail you?</p>
<p>That's what I thought, but I don't think it would be a problem if you e-mailed them to ask.</p>
<p>Modadunn--did you find out whether you're supposed to be contacting that local rep for an interview yourself or does your interviewer contact you?</p>
<p>In general, the practice is to sit tight and wait for an interviewer to contact you. </p>
<p>However, in a number of geographic areas, there are too many applicants for everyone who'd like an interview to get one. In those cases, if you really really really want an interview, it would be a good idea to contact the committee chair. But not quite yet. Some committees don't make assignments until after the new year, when all the applications are in. So, assignments will just be made in the next couple of weeks.</p>
<p>My advice would be to wait for a few weeks before you initiate contact. And if you don't fall into the group who really really really thinks they'll benefit from interviews, don't worry about it at all.</p>
<p>I really really really want an interview.</p>
<p>Lmao, okay, that was a half-joke. But I would truly like an interview. I think I'm even cooler in person than on paper :P</p>
<p>But yeah, I'm going to wait it out a bit.</p>
