<p>I just had an interview with an alumnus who graduated from Cornell a short while ago. Okay, I know this is a dumb question, but is there anyway to know if interview went well or bad? I mean he seemed to be very nice and supportive, but does he have a duty to actually leave every applicant an impression that she or he did well during the interview? Anyone has any idea?</p>
<p>i don't understand your last question but to answer your whole post: if you feel that the interview went well, it went amazingly. if you have a slight reservation, it probobaly still went pretty well. i doubt that you did horribly. anyhow, it' s NON-EVALUATIVE (millionth time). all they're gonna say is, cool kid, i recommend him.</p>
<p>thx lotz. yeah, i don't get what I was saying as well. Haha, I guess i was suffering a little post-interview syndrome.</p>
<p>Unless your interviewer is from the same college, I really don't think it will be helpful at all. I'm an ILR student and I ended up getting a doctor from the Human Ecology school. Two completely different fields obviously. From what I remember of the interview, I had a hard time asking her stuff about the school, specifically ILR related stuff because she just didn't know. As the guy above said, the interview is non-evaluative, but they do send a report to the school. It'd be better if the admissions committee got something out of it rather than nothing.</p>
<p>My daughter's interview included a portfolio presentation to an alum from the school, and is required for admission to AAP. I don't really think it matters unless it is required. Don't stress out over it.</p>
<p>Yea, basically as long as you were civil and sane during the interview everything should be fine.</p>
<p>An example of what not to do: jump on the table, dance and sing, and defecate on your interviewer's face.</p>
<p>What to do: Sit there like a nice person and act interested in the school.</p>
