<p>S. had an interview that lasted 2.5 hours. Interviewer, apparently an alumni interviwer, droned on and on about his girlfriends and himself for quite some time before turning to psychoanalyze S. </p>
<p>Even more distressing is that the Interviewer called the day before basically saying S had to interview the next day. I had originally figured interview would last about an hour at the most. (This has been our experience thus far.) I drop in @ the 2 hr mark, and politely inquire as to when I should come back. He gave me a big “dubya tee eff” look and remarked something about 20 minutes and how his record is 5 hrs.</p>
<p>Am I the only to have this happen? Feeling very disappointed with Brandeis. I found Interviewer’s actions inappropriate and unprofessional. Help.</p>
<p>I think you should definitely contact admissions about this incident, I think it would be important for them to get that feedback and I think Admissions would want to address your concerns. I don’t think it would hurt your chances and perhaps nobody spoke to them about this person before.

<p>I agree with catperson. I am an alum interviewer for my alma mater and my interviews never run longer than an hour. Alumni interviewers are volunteers and may or may not pay attention to the training and information provided by the university. One of the best ways for a university to monitor the quality of it’s alumni interviewers is from feedback like yours. Please don’t let rogue interviewer change your impression of Brandeis - it really is a great school! (D is class of 13.)</p>
<p>That is far longer than one of our interviews should last. We’re looking into that now and trying to find out what happened. Water boy, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or want to share any information. Thanks.</p>
