<p>oh nick...my interview was definitely WORSE!.I don't want to think about it..:</p>
<p>ur judging a school based on an individual interviewer? wow.</p>
<p>huh..me?..</p>
<p>no im not judging the school..IM JUDGING MY INTERVIEW..it was bad..it was horrible..where did the actual school come in, in all of this?</p>
<p>An0n..im assuming u werent talkin to me after reading what rumbean wrote</p>
<p>yeah i was talking to rumbean.</p>
<p>u know what would be funny..if you got rejected from all your schools and got into harvard..rumbean..that would be funny..hehe</p>
<p>I didn't have an interview due to the interviewer's family connections to my school's graduating class... I hope it didn't affect me negatively!</p>
<p>haha my columbia interviewer's daughter was in my marching band. i was the drum major of that marching band. i got in, go figure.</p>
<p>wow....that's really cool!!!</p>
<p>hehe...my Harvard interviewer's daughter was in children's choir with me for five years, and my sister had done a brief summer internship with him.</p>
<p>My Yale interview was the best. It lasted about an hour and fifteen minutes. It went well partially because my interviewer had recently moved into a historic house (it was at his house) and, as a prospective architecture major, I was allowed to teach him a few things about it, which got a great conversation going.</p>
<p>My Harvard interview, as I mentioned, was with someone I had met before, and it lasted a little longer (not quite an hour and a half). We just talked over coffee at Panera, and we weren't lacking for conversation. The only embarrassing moment in the whole thing was when he asked me where else I was applying. Since I had already been accepted to Yale EA and had only sent in other applications to Harvard and Princeton, I had been dreading this question. On top of that, our local newspaper had published a story on local HS seniors accepted to elite colleges via early admission, and I had been featured in it. After asking me where else I was applying, he said, "I thought I saw something about you and that other school in the paper..." :) He didn't hold it against me - I'm just hoping it didn't go in the report.</p>
<p>The Princeton interview was just odd. My interviewer was a backward science major and had never conducted an interview before, so he kept staring away from me and kicking his foot nervously. We had a good conversation, and it lasted about as long as the Yale interview, but I had to keep the whole thing going. Not to mention that his annoying, senile dog kept coming over to me and sneezing. Ugh. I don't think that interview helped or hurt me at all. I doubt he knew what to write in his report - he came out at the beginning with a packet of information he had received on "how to conduct an interview" and told me that he hadn't read it...</p>
<p>My interviewer told me that the interviews are used to provide a quick synopsis of the student and show what the candidate thinks is his or her strogest attributes or accomplishments. He also said these are usually read first as an introduction to the rest of the application.</p>
<p>lol...then no wonder i got deferred from yale. my interviewer never emailed me but claimed she did and she ended up dissing asians half the time during the interview (she was asian as am i) and we have about a gazillion miscommunications. it was a nightmare interview. </p>
<p>vivaldi87- lol...i love the senile dog...do you by any chance live near lawrence, ks? i used to live there and i'm always excited wen i see that someone else is from ks.</p>
<p>wow she claimed she did..was that a big issue?..that seems really bad..</p>
<p>my harvard interviewer was asian and she majored in asian studies..nothin wrong with being asian but we just didnt click..it was strange...i really hated it..</p>
<p>and thats weird desi becuz youre bengali...and its not too far off.....i mean both are in asian.....idk...im just bored so i felt like commenting....</p>
<p>LOL!...Beech....well..it wasnt a race issue..plus actually my other interviewers were white and we clicked soo well....but still i dont think its a race issue...it was just an awkward interview....:</p>
<p>yeah i understand....maybe its where i live....but everytime an asian meets another asian they go nuts like its the first time theyve ever seen another asian...lol.</p>
<p>I was never contacted for an interview... so I am hoping that Yale does not use this against me! We'll find out on Thursday I guess...</p>
<p>desi- one of my bf is bengali. i know how to say sky- phonetically it's akash right? :) it's my sole accomplishment.</p>
<p>LOL!....yeah i was taught.....Chi tee kay (phonetical)</p>
<p>omg.....in the yale bookstore they have this GI-NORMOUS section for foreign languages!....they have bengali and pretty much any speakable language down there!....theres foreign novels and calendars...and maps....i was in heaven!</p>
