<p>only 20 min.!? How many questions were you asked?
Oh... 100th post!!!!!!!!! hehe</p>
<p>I got called today by my interviewer. Old riteree who just decided to volunteer for it. I'm the first person he's called and we are doing it hte first day he's available. So I'm guessing I'm gonna be the first person he's interviewing. Wonder if thats good or bad. He sounded nice. Doing it at the local library. After everything everyone has said about how its not so "weighted", I'm not so worried. Thanks CC kids once again. Oh and by the way..my mom yelled at me for saying "uh huh" when I was talking to him. Haha..love my crazy mother.</p>
<p>hey... i was just wondering how much a good interview helps? im applying to wharton, and basically wharton is wharton and i dont really have a chance. however... i had an excellent interview (the lady loved me ;)) and i was wondering if that would improve (significantly, moderately, or not at all) my chances????</p>
<p>My interviewer said that basically, the interview is not important at all- it's just to add a little bit of "personality" to your application.</p>
<p>If you're close, maybe.</p>
<p>just curious- how do all of you guys who have said that you had a great interview know that it was great?</p>
<p>pinkmuscat--now that's what i'm wondering too! what happens if everything on your app "seems" to be what penn wants, except for you EXTREMLY low SAT scores (and by low, i mean LOW, not the typical image of Penn students who think a 1300 is a low score)....i'm freakin!!!!!! </p>
<p>princess--you know it went well especially when there seems to be no akwardness btw you and the interviewer and it just seemed to flow well that hour...i dunno, i guess you can kinda tell those things at the interview...i think!? lol</p>
<p>I've heard lots of khakis...what about cargo khaks...</p>
<p>i really dont see a problem with that, unless they're not torn or anything...or overly baggy</p>
<p>How bad is it that my interviewer asked me what other colleges I'm applying to and that she told me it's okay if I don't get in? For some reason I specifically remember her saying "it's not the be all end all", and she was referring to college admissions. I have a feeling she might write something bad in my reference letter (like I was dull or something). Am I being paranoid or should I start sending out applications for other schools now? :o</p>
<p>She asked you that? </p>
<p>I didnt think they were allowed to ask what colleges you're applying to, or at least that's what my councelor told me. What did you tell her?</p>
<p>My French teacher said the regional lady person called her and asked her to contact me about an interview (but she can't since I'm her student / she already wrote a formal rec for me). She told me that the lady said "that's ok, we have everything that we need to have and know everything we need to know about him, so he doesn't need an interview." But my French teacher told her that I insisted on having one, so they're going to try to find someone in my town / area to do it...</p>
<p>weird..</p>
<p>she also told me that according to what penn's been telling her.. interviews for ED applicants were supposed to have been done by the 15th (today).. she jokingly said.. penn's never been good with dates and deadlines.. ^^</p>
<p>How do you guys this it will look if I have to come form swimming practice...so im in sweats and I smell like chlorine.. lol</p>
<p>KRabble - Don't worry about that remark. The interviewer has no clue about your transcript, your SAT scores, your recs, the competition at your school or anything else. And you felt it went well, so I'm sure it did.<br>
I've been to other interviews where I was asked what other schools I am applying to, and I think it's a typical interview Q.</p>
<p>lishnik - That, I wouldn't do!</p>
<p>Yea I just realized that I wouldn't be able to make it anyways..so Im gonna skip practice. Cargo khaks and a shirt it is...and I will be smelling fresshh and delicious..as always</p>
<p>ah!!!! My interview is less than 3 hours away! I AM SO EXCITED!</p>
<p>I finally got an interview...</p>
<p>with a kid in my homeroom's dad.. plus my brother shadowed him on career day.. kind of bizarre.. we'll see how it goes.. its tomorrow at 5..</p>
<p>hmmm......</p>
<p>twilight zone</p>
<p>good luck, dw</p>
<p>dw - interviews were supposed to be done by today?! T_T now i'm sad...i didn't get contacted....damn...</p>
<p>join the club. <em>sigh</em> at least i wont have to worry about them contacting me during my mun trip</p>
