<p>would you recommend bringing any sort of activities resume about yourself for the interviewer?</p>
<p>I did; my interviewer seemed really happy that i did since it would help write the write-up :)</p>
<p>I think I’d just bring along a resume just in case. I just got an email for an interview today =O. I’m so happy!</p>
<p>Also, to AdmissionsAddict, I’m very impressed that you’ve been keeping up with this thread since 2007!</p>
<p>Cadillac–I think T26’s point is that there are thousands of alumni interviewers, so there is no one way they all act (like all agreeing that they will arrive 5 min early to all interviews). For what it’s worth, if an interview is not at my office, I try to arrive a couple minutes early, but traffice and other realities of life mean that I’m not always early. Whether I’m there first or the applicant is there first makes no difference.</p>
<p>Hey cadillac, I just wanted to say that throughout reading this thread I was very serious, but when I saw your “Yo. I be there. Peace.” post… it lightened things up for me a bit. 
Thanks! And good luck, I’m sure you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Haha, thanks Feed. </p>
<p>My interview went pretty well, but of course I’m worried about everything… Hopefully a few slips won’t matter, and at least they got my overall personality?</p>
<p>Also, I noticed that some interviewers will describe the interviewee as “arrogant” and other bad qualities – what were some of the things an arrogant interviewee said / behaved like?</p>
<p>I was extremely pleased with my interviewer! she was a current student at Yale and agreed with just about everything i said (+ was very good-looking 
i was actually her second interview ever</p>
<p>^thats not an alumni interview</p>
<p>^i didnt mean to imply that it was. this thread isnt only about alumni interviews is it? I had mine at Yale when I was visiting my grandparents who live very close to New Haven.</p>
<p>Edit:
Actually nevermind, she was a very recent graduate, i couldnt remember :)</p>
<p>Are EA interviews selective? Still haven’t received one…</p>

<p>The search function here works pretty well. Good luck to you.</p>
<p>AHH! Just got an email about an interview for after thanksgiving, but I thought admissions needed the interview report by Dec 1? If I schedule for Dec 5 would that mean Yale would’nt get info about the interview?</p>

Thank you.
From these sources I can see interviews are not selective. However, I’m just a little bit nervous since the applicants in my region(Shanghai, China) who got in last yeat all received interviews,so…Hope my speculation is not true…</p>
<p>This isn’t for Yale, but since it’s the interview thread, I thought I’d ask :)</p>
<p>So one of my other interviewers for another school wanted to schedule with me and he told me to bring copies of my resume including tests, and copies of the essays I wrote for CommonApp… Is this normal? I’m ok with the test part since my scores are pretty good, but I’m not sure I would feel comfortable having him read my essay as I’m sitting in front of him? It’s kind of personal and such…I mean, I would probably do it in the end, but is this something that’s typical for an interview? He told me the interview is informal, too. </p>
<p>My Yale interviewer certainly didn’t ask for all these things and it went fine. </p>
<p>What are your thoughts?</p>
<p>I just had my interview, which went very well. However, when i received a confirmation email from him earlier, though, I noticed he had misspelled my first name. </p>
<p>I am wondering what will happen if he sends in the interview report with a misspelled name, and whether or not Yale will receive it.</p>
<p>Ugh I know I’m probably stressing over nothing but I just hope the report doesnt get lost and I’m left with a fat hole in my application (will they think i denied an interview?).</p>
<p>Report submissions are linked to an assigned ID number and your last name. I’m sure when the alum mis-types your last name, he/she will go back and discover the problem. Otherwise, if he/she just enters in your assigned ID number, your report page will come up. All reports (nowadays) are submitted online.</p>
<p>Great interviewer. We had a really good time, and she even wants me to meet her husband and maybe intern for him during the summer. I find most interviews enjoyable, and this one was no exception.</p>
<p>^wow. what does he do?</p>
<p>He works for the California Department of Agriculture.</p>
<p>oh cool. man i really hope you’re not a ■■■■■ ;)</p>
