TERRIBLE Interview

<p>my harvard interviewer asked me for my stats. it's part of the procedure since they actually require the interview, not "recommend" it.</p>

<p>my harvard interviewer asked me for my stats too...</p>

<p>Same with me for Harvard. I think my Yale interview went really well...I think the interviewer and I had a lot in common, which helped. It lasted about an hour.</p>

<p>my yale interview went super well as i talked with him for an hour and a half. my harvard interview really sucked. the guy constantly asked me about science and the research i had done. he didn't really seem to care that i came from korea last year or the fact that i had lived alone for some time every year. I told him about hisenburg, hawkings, and another book to show that i wasn't an idiot. But the focus of the interivew was really looking at the sheet and asking me about awards. It lasted 15 minutes. oh boy what a bad interivew.</p>

<p>hotpiece, I still don't understand. Harvard should have our stats on our application. WHY would they want it again from the interviewer??!!</p>

<p>I didn't know it was a required interview...I'm just accepting any interview that any school offers. I thought it was strongly recommended?! Says in the blue college handbook?</p>

<p>imiracle, same here: "my yale interview went super well as i talked with him for an hour and a half. my harvard interview really sucked." that sums it up. </p>

<p>except that my havard interviewer REALLY cared about that i came from china SEVEN years ago and didn't care about any of my extracurricular activities on my resume. i told him about a book too, which made me look an idiot, i think? i dunno. o god, the substance of my harvard interview was definitely a 15-minute ordeal-if you compress it. it lasted 40 minutes more only cuz i try to ask some questions, none of which he answered to my satisfaction(i think vice versa!)</p>

<p>I'm starting to think that Yale might be a better fit for me. It might be a perfect fit.</p>

i have no idea why he asked me my stats. the first question was like "What is your GPA and/or class rank?" Then he asked me about test scores etc. i thought it was weird that he focused on stats too.</p>
