<p>I know I have read that it doesn't matter who you interview with, but I have apparently decided to worry about this anyway.<br>
D interviewed during a recent visit, but the interview was with a student. Does that count as 'the' interview?<br>
The website says they are not evaluative, but also notes that they help them get to know you, and there are deadlines, so it seems best to have one. </p>
<p>I don’t actually know if there are any Wellesley grads in our area, but my D would love to get to meet with one if there is! </p>
<p>@shoboemom When I interviewed back in April when I visited Wellesley, the interviewer was a student, too. And, now that I’ve applied, the interview does appear on the records as ‘the’ interview, so, yes, interviews at Wellesley with a current student are official interviews. </p>
<p>Hey @ToraTori , the interview shows up on your record? Do you mean the portal? I had an interview but I didn’t see anything about interview on my portal… Thxx </p>
<p>Hi @lilmissyy! In the materials checklist on the portal, my interview appears in the list under requirements. </p>
<p>@lilmissyy my interview doesn’t show up either…hmmm. I know my interviewer sent a report in, too. Did you iterview on campus or with an alum? </p>
<p>@lilmissyy @sourvinegar Mine showed up under the materials checklist (under requirements) on the portal, like @lucythehedgehog (PS- Lucy, if you’re reading this, I am in love with your username). But I interviewed last April and I interviewed on campus, so I’m not sure whether the timing or the location had any affect on the input… I do know that it takes a while to send the information if you interviewed with an alumna, and I know that, after it arrives, they need an extra couple of days to enter the data into the system. I also know that there was a cutoff date for interviews for class of 2015/19 ED applicants, but I’m not sure when it is (was?)… if you interviewed after that date (though I doubt that this is the case; they would’ve told you) your information might not be entered…? </p>
<p>I don’t mean to scare you; I’d wait until December 1st to see if the information is entered on your Portal, and, if it is not, then I would call (or email, but calling is better) the Admissions Office and get a DIRECT answer. Ultimately, that’s the best way to go about solving a potential problem like this, and it shows initiative. </p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>@sourvinegar , to relieve your stress: I checked the portal and it on there it did say that <copied> “2) Non-required materials, i.e. other recommendations, academic awards, interviews, or AP scores will not appear below. We will not be able to respond to inquiries regarding the receipt of non-required materials.”
So I guess we are fine! So don’t worry :)</copied></p>
<p>And thanks so much @ToraTori !!! You are always so willing to help 
A huge thank you to @lucythehedgehog too! :)</p>
<p>My daughter also interviewed on campus with a student interviewer. I thought it was good. My daughter got to ask some questions about Wellesley life an adult wouldn’t really be able to answer with personal experience. The interviewer was so mature/dressed professionally that I didn’t know she was a student when I saw her (found out afterward). She was able to answer my questions as well in the waiting room and I found the experience to be very professional. So I think it’s very common and they are well trained.</p>
<p>@lilmissyy ^#(^ Eh? Don’t thank me – it’s no problem at all, and I’m sure you’d do the same! I just want to help make sure that everyone’s experience goes as smoothly as possible… I just hope that I’m not coming across as pushy or controlling or know-it-all-ish in the process! lol ;u; </p>
<p>@lilmissyy I emailed Wellesley about it and they told me that they have my interview, but it wasn’t listed (probably because it was an alumnae interview ) So I just thought I’d let you know as you were in the same position. Most likely they have yours as well. Only five more days!!</p>
<p>@sourvinegar I did an alumnae interview as well and didn’t find any listing of it on my portal. Hopefully, my person send her report cause I did do a follow-up thank you email! </p>
