<p>Shall the countdown begin? 10 more days!</p>
<p>Dreading March 27th! So many decisions at once! </p>
<p>8!!</p>
<p>lols I will probably check my Princeton portal before the rest of the portals because I know I will not get in. Just get it over with first haha because I have like 6 decisions coming in that 2-3 day time period. </p>
<p>Is anyone filming a reaction video? Haha, I tried to do it when I was checking my SCEA Harvard decision but my laptop’s camera was being stupid. I’ll probably do Princeton and the other 2 Ivies I’m applying to all in one take.</p>
<p>4 days, 2 hours, and 31 minutes!</p>
<p>Just a clarification, all Ivy League decisions are on portals, correct?</p>
<p>@collegeluva101</p>
<p>No, because I don’t want a video of me crying, lol.</p>
<p>I would film a reaction video, but it would probably not be so happy. LOL</p>
<p>probably a good day to treat myself out with ice cream or something. </p>
<p>@dannyo95, No. Harvard sends decisions through emails.</p>
<p>No Harvard sends an email, but the rest I believe are @dannyo95 </p>
<p>@meghamind Damn, so far I’m 0/2 for email decisions, I hope the pattern stops with them ;)</p>
<p>lol let’s see… Definitely didn’t work out for me in SCEA… opened it up at school because I am apparently sadistic @tomwantssnow</p>
<p>@meghamind I opened my Harvey Mudd email on Friday right after a nap… not the best way to do it either.</p>
<p>@meghamind I go to a boarding school. I don’t even need to be sadistic to open all the decisions at school. </p>
<p>@humanities2014 that actually sucks. I dont have school the next day and we get out early that day</p>

<p>For some reason, CC won’t let me view your old threads. I know you’ve posted about being an interviewer before.
If it’s not too much of a bother, can you briefly offer your input on how much a fantastic interview would help an applicant? I know that most interviews end in “mildly positive” reports and thus aren’t much of a help to admissions committee’s besides being an indicator that there’s nothing wrong with the applicant.</p>
<p>But what about the truly unusual interview reports?
I’m just trying to understand whether all interview reports are considered as much as teacher evaluations (as Princeton has indicated,) or whether glowing reports might be taken more seriously.</p>
<p>For example, what if the interviewer rated the applicant a 10/10 (if such a scale is used??) and called him a future Nobel prize winner?</p>
<p>I find it hard to believe that Admissions would just consider this as important as a teacher evaluation which is almost certainly less objective in nature. But, if you say it is I’d be willing to accept that.</p>
<p>HI Etiquette: Maybe this post explains my view:
<a href=“Impact of Interviews - #6 by T26E4 - University of Pennsylvania - College Confidential Forums”>Impact of Interviews - #6 by T26E4 - University of Pennsylvania - College Confidential Forums;
<p>In general, I think interviews, no matter how positive the rating might be, are by their very nature, a very tiny and unnatural peek into the student. I don’t believe that P would value it as much as plumbing for great signs in the teacher recs.</p>
<p>I. am. not. a. patient. person.</p>
<p>Do you guys think acceptance to Dartmouth correlates with acceptance to Princeton?</p>
<p>@iloverainbowsyo No. When it comes to top ranked schools, getting accepted to one is not an indicator of getting accepted to another. It is simply an indicator of your talent and your success. But a lot of really talented and accepted people apply to Ivies, and they can only accept so many, so it becomes subjective. It depends on who sticks out most to which admissions team and what type of people (athletes, musicians, etc.) the school needs in its incoming class.</p>
