<p>dude my interview was for 2 hrs, is that UNUSUAL?</p>
<p>it went way well though! it turn into a conversation rather than shooting questions back and forth. he's awesome</p>
<p>"Recent statistics show that prospective MIT students who have interviews with "educational counselors" are 2.3 times more likely to be admitted than those who don't. Scheduling face-to-face interviews with thousands of candidates is impossible for the admissions personnel, whose calendars are already jam-packed, so MIT dean of admissions Marilee Jones relies on more than 2,100 alumni volunteers around the world to meet with prospective students. The reports these educational counselors provide can have a huge influence on whether a student is offered admission or not."

<p>however i dont know how it affects you if you are not able to have an interview</p>
<p>If your interview lasted two hours, that's a sign it went well. :)</p>
<p>You clearly had enough to talk about, and your interviewer was receptive to what you had to say. I guess they found you interesting - congrats! :)</p>
<p>My interview is in 3 hours!! I'm so nervous! Any last minute suggestions?</p>
<p>Yes. Just be yourself. Use the questions your interviewer asks as opportunities to work your interests and passions into the context of your answers, or something :)</p>
<p>I'm hearing from all these people that their interview was an hour and a half, two hours, etc.! I just did mine and it was almost exactly one hour. Is it ok?</p>
<p>I don't know, I'd be a little worried...</p>
<p>JUST KIDDING</p>
<p>You are fine.</p>
<p>yea mine was an hour too... It seemed like it was alright.
nothing special</p>
<p>LOL, I love you BEBEBEBEBERE!</p>
<p>:-P</p>
<p>Only 7 left, huh?</p>
<p>staticsoliloquy: didnt u go to RSI??</p>
<p>Yup, ONLY 7. :P Are there any other smilies besides :) and :(?</p>
<p>I was somewhat rash last year, and just showed up in a t-shirt and jeans (I think I was still wearing the chain for my wallet). It went well though - I'm certainly not complaining now.</p>
<p>All I can manage is :) and :(.</p>
<p>This new CC seriously needs to get its act together.</p>
<p>I miss the old smileys.</p>
<p>what kind of stuff should you bring to the interview?</p>
<p>I have no idea.
My EC told me that I don't need to prepare anything, bring nothing even my resume. What do you guys suggest me to take to the interview? Just my brain?</p>
<p>Mine will be on this Friday, inside a bookstore.</p>
<p>If you can't remember it without a piece of paper in front of you it is not important enough to you, and not important enough to the interviewer, to talk about...so don't worry about bringing anything!</p>
<p>hmm...my interview lasted 45 minutes...hope that is not a bad sign. </p>
<p>I brought an activity sheet + a notebook (in which I wrote absolutely NOTHING)...</p>
<p>should i bring a semi-resume(like a list of activities i've involved in)??</p>
<p>did you bring yours?</p>
<p>Were your EC's very distinguished/famous people?</p>
