Interview

<p>I am an International applicant from Libya, and since it's such a remote location, I was not expecting an alumni interview. What happened next was most unexpected.</p>

<p>Just yesterday, 4th of march '08, I called the admissions office regarding a question and surprisingly, my call was transferred to an admissions officer herself. I stated my name and that I was an applicant for the class of 2012. Shockingly, she seemed to recognise me and asked me how things were going on in Libya. From there on, she asked me several questions about my life in Libya, my school, extra-curriculars etc. Our conversation lasted for 45 minutes in spite of her tight schedule at this moment, what with the upcoming decisions.</p>

<p>So, I guess I had an impromptu interview after all and that too with an admissions officer. I fumbled a bit during our conversation as I wasn't expecting an interview, was not prepared for it and became nervous when she started asking me questions and was scared to be actually speaking with an admissions officer. But overall, it was pleasant talking to her as she was extremely nice to me.</p>

<p>But right now, I can't make head or tail of why the interview was held so suddenly and at such a late date. </p>

<p>And of course, in all my anxiety, I forgot to ask the question for which I had called the admissions office in the first place!</p>

<p>I also applied to Harvard and hope to see you there. But tell me are you the only applicant from your country?</p>

<p>well, actually from where I am living right now, i.e. from Libya, I am the first applicant to an Ivy league university in over two decades!!
Oh, hope to see you too, that is if by some miracle I do get in!</p>

<p>did you get accepted?
sorry for barging in but i really want to know:)</p>
