<p>i just had the most terrible interview :(</p>

<p>my interviewer was contradictory..kept saying that what i said was wrong.. and then gave me answers that was basically the same thing.. just in different words... and then she kept on saying that i would have no idea what it would be like in an all-girls school.. because i've never been in one.. and how would i know what it's like to fit in.. and she just kept throwing out these negative comments about wellesley...</p>

<p>sorry about this rant.. just had to get it out.</p>

<p>Wow...I'm so sorry D=
Well don't be discouraged, I don't think interviews can hurt you and don't believe anything she says about Wellesley/you.</p>

<p>That's terrible, because my interview was amazing.
I had everything in common with my interviewer and I was so excited for hours afterwards.
Sorry you couldn't have had the same experience! =/</p>

<p>hahahaha of course, maybe it was all a test.
Because nothing can get in the way of our love for Wellesley.
muahahahahahahaha ;]</p>

<p>Oh dear...it's alright though!! Don't be upset just because of one measly interviewer. If you didn't like her too much, it's not bad to say it outright!</p>

<p>What a bitter alum! The whole story reminds me of my Harvard interview (I have the bad habit of conceding arguments because I don't like to argue, which can make me seem a bit dim at times).
They say interviews "can only help" so I hope it doesn't hurt your chances of admission.</p>

<p>Oh, dear. My best friend recently gave an interview, and I can see the scenario from a few perspectives. She never received the material she needed for the interview and was very nervous about the process. Perhaps your interviewer was in a similar situation and wasn't sure what was expected of her (or had a misguided notion of the expectations). That doesn't make it any better for you, but don't worry too much about the ordeal.</p>

<p>thanks for your encouragement gals!</p>

<p>I suggest that you call the admissions office and let them know about this alumna interviewer. Her behavior is absolutely not allowed, especially since she had negative comments about Wellesley - part of her job is to promote the college, not disparage it. It may not seem like that big of a deal, but if you let the right people know about this, not only might you avoid any negative effects the interviewer's comments could have on your candidacy, but future applicants will be spared this terrible ordeal.</p>
