interview

<p>Sorry if this has been asked before. I checked previous threads but couldn't quite find what I was looking for.</p>

<p>I just had my interview today. Like maybe 10 hours ago. Do you think my interviewer would have submitted his report already? I keep thinking about how I forgot to mention a lot of things, and in retrospect it seems like I put a lot of emphasis on various superficial aspects because of the lack of the aforementioned 'things I forgot to mention.' -_-</p>

<p>Would it be too late to add these in a thank you e-mail? If there is a high likelihood that he sent it already, I will leave it at a short thank you and be done with it.</p>

<p>Also, the interview doesn't weigh too heavily right? I feel like I screwed it up and came off as frazzled and scatterbrained, which I really am not.</p>

<p>Interviews have to write a letter of recommendation for you, so probably no.</p>

An interview will not make or break your application.</p>

<p>It's probably good to be a little nervous, that way they can distinguish you from the rest of the ant colony.</p>

<p>I forgot mad stuff too in my interview although I didn't really have a plan beforehand either. Kind of like what I do in job interviews. I've had more than 40 jobs in the last 5 years so it's like, what can I really tell these people?</p>

<p>I remember me and my interviewer started talking about turntables, scratching and then we started talking about the latest Ghostface Killah album. This was in 04' so I think it was the Pretty Toney album. Actually it was more like me talking at my interviewer. He definately thought I was bizzare for real though...</p>

<p>I was worried about the whole Tufts' syndrome ordeal, and I thought, well, I didn't leave my name on that online chat they had a while back, nor did I put my name down when I visited last March... so I figured this interview was the last chance I had to show my interest.</p>

<p>Anyway, thanks!</p>

<p>First of all, the Tufts interview, like most alumni interviews, has no large bearing on you application. It's just one more way to help the admissions office envision who you are. </p>

<p>But there's a good chance that you interviewer has not posted his or her report yet and might add something to it. In any event, Tufts encourages continued contact with your interviewer--you should feel free not only to provide additional information but also to ask any new questions you might have.</p>

<p>I'm a Tufts alumni interviewer. I have interviews to write up, but I'm procastinating by surfing CC. By all means send an email with addtional information. I always tell my interviewees to do that. Even once I've written the report I wait a few days to review it before I send it in. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Can anyone hear specify what the normal dress is for guys? If it were at Starbucks or Panera Bread or something like that I'd think a nice polo shirt and dress pants, but my interview is at a bank which seems more formal. Should I wear a shirt and tie, or is that overkill?</p>

<p>I wore jeans and a t-shirt and it was at a law office. Didn't seem to be a problem for me.</p>

<p>I just got an email saying that they didn't have the resources to do one in my area, which I have to say is pretty uncool.</p>

<p>All it means is that there is no alum volunteer interviewer near you. You should ask if you can do one over the phone.</p>

<p>I'm thinking I will do that, because I did definitely want to do an interview.</p>
