<p>i dont think my EC is very famous, but rich as a mofo. Went to MIT undergrad (obviously, haha) then Harvard Business school i think. He's hella rich now, house is GIGANTIC. GIGANTIC.</p>
<p>Mine went to a top Ivy for undergrad, and MIT for grad. He has a nice house in a nice area, but nothing too extravagant. He still works at age 60 or something.</p>
<p>I brought a CV, but my EC refused to look at it. She told me that she didn't want to hear about grades and test scores; only about my interests and the such.</p>
<p>I would bring one just in case though.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone if you haven't interviewed yet! It's not that bad... Trust me! :)</p>
<p>Mine was adamant about not wanting any transcript or anything, so I didn't bring one. During the interview, he made an off-the-cuff reference to the SAT and asked how I did.</p>
<p>mine behaved similarly to yours in that she refused to see my transcript and would not listen to any mention of test scores/grades...
...didn't ask about SATs... which sucks because I'm still excited that I did so well (got my results Friday).</p>
<p>what about a list of activities and accomplishments??</p>
<p>holy shnikes, i disappear for a month and the board's morphed into ridiculous...</p>
<p>back to topic: unless you're instructed not to, you should be fine showing up with a resume to offer. if you don't have one, don't sweat about throwing one together unless you really really want to/need it for other interviews; it's a good way to give the interviewer somewhere to start, but the focus of the interview will be you and what you have to say.</p>
<p>that said, dress comfortably and semi-presentably, relax, and enjoy yourself. unless you're the world's most arrogant prick, it's unlikely they'll dislike you. they're not looking for anything specific, just a sense that you're the sort of person who will not only survive but thrive at MIT. this place is notorious for the interesting people it attracts; you get a few hours to pick the brain of one of them. luck!</p>
<p>isn't it rather disadvantageous if your interviewer went to MIT for grad sch instead of undergrad, because he/she wouldn't have first-hand info abt undergrad life to share?</p>
<p>Apparently my EC's is a big big shot.. some executive director of a research institute.. and he's so terribly busy that he's gotten his secretary to contact me instead... isn't it freaky... I wonder if he'll even have time to do a nice EC report! ahh...</p>
<p>Well, if you make a good enough impression, I'm sure he'll want to write something nice about you, and will take the time to write it... </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>My interview lasted slightly longer than 1 hr. No idle time happened.</p>
<p>Any comment on my interview?</p>
<p>Well, you and your interviewer are the only people who can determine how the interview went.</p>
<p>But, if it was going poorly, do you really think your interviewer would allow it to continue for over an hour?</p>
<p>1 hour 10 minutes here.</p>
<p>mine was about an hour and 10 minutes too</p>
<p>my interview is in an hour...i'm wearing cordoruy and a sweat swirt...</p>
<p>Mine was 2 hours long, and my interviewer was more or less friendly at first. He wanted to know what special qualities made me qualified to get into MIT, what my SAT scores and ECs were, and why I wanted to go there.</p>
<p>ya mine was also 2 hrs. it was SO fun...the interview turned into conversational rather than formal which was great! We talked about music, night clubs, social life, research, etc. Funness. I still keep in contact with my interviewer.</p>
<p>my interview was awesome...</p>
<p>Isn't MIT a rather liberal school? I don't think they'd care, unless you're wearing something "inappropriate". Supposedly, some students would show a porn film for the first day back or something like that.</p>
<p>mine's next week ahhhh i dunno what to say/do. i don't even know what my EC is like... I hope he's not an old rich fogey, simply because then we'd have nothing in common from the start. :(</p>
