interviews question

Applying to College
1

<p>I was waitlisted at a top 5 school, and have already written them two letters.</p>

<p>I was wondering whether or not I should e-mail my regional admissions rep about a weakness that I percieved in my application:</p>

<p>When I had my alumni interview for the school back in February, the person who interviewed me was extremely busy. I came to his office and had to wait for a long time and when he finally interviewed me, the interview only lasted 8 minutes as he was having a busy day in his office. I think that perhaps my interview report was probably short and undescriptive as my interviewer could not have made an extensive assessment of my personality in 8 minutes.</p>

<p>All my other college interviews (I had 6 others) lasted between 40 minutes and 2 hours.</p>

<p>Do you think I should e-mail the school I was waitlisted and explain why my interview report might have been weak, due to the interviews short duration? Or will I be percieved as just making excuses?</p>

<p>I don't think it would help you. I think that you should have complained about the 8-min. interview when it happened. Now is too late, and you'd just sound like you're making excuses.</p>

<p>What you do need to make sure that you do is to let them know about any major honors, achievements that happened since you last updated them.</p>

<p>thank you, i won't mention the interview then - your argument seems logical.</p>

<p>i have already sent two letters containing academic and extracurricular updates.</p>
