<p>yale: young, confident, commanding
wash u: young, funny, nice</p>
<p>MIT: middle-age, nice, closed-off
Brandeis: middle-age, wonderful, engaging...I still talk to her...she's so cool!</p>
<p>riesaray89, how do you still talk to her?! email? on the phone? what do you talk about? stuffs? movies?</p>
<p>We've been emailing since the interview. Her son is my age, so we talk about college admissions. We also talk about interesting books that the other should read, e.g. the new book by the Brandeis alum, Thomas Friedman. It's also become a game to see how many noteworthy Brandeis scientist alums we can find. For instance, did you know that Edward Witten earned his undergraduate degree at Brandeis?!</p>
<p>how did you start emailing him? i want to email mine too. his daughter is almost my age. </p>
<p>um. no. i didn't. lol.</p>
<p>1-talkative, quirky, cute!</p>
<p>2-gorgeous, casual, lovely!</p>
<p>haha...he did, and in history, no doubt. Ironically, he's a top string theorist at the Institute for Advanced Study.
Anyway, it started right after the interview. I had her email address from our initial contact beforehand, and I just emailed to say thank you for the great interview. It probably helps that she's just really talkative; she emailed me commenting on the wonderful conversation. So on and so forth. If I were you, I would email him to say thank you for interviewing you, and then ask him questions about his daughter's college search. You could also ask questions that you've thought of since the interview. What school was it for?</p>
<p>Cornell- old, friendly, inviting</p>
<p>WUSTL:
Boring, somewhat condescending, essentially the complete opposite of me personality-wise (he was an engineer)</p>
<p>Mini Cornell Interview/Information Session:
The couple (a husband and wife) who ran the session were PSYCHOTIC. Weird, weird, weird people. They also brought a more recent graduate to the session who was also insanely bizarre. I really don't want to go Cornell because of that session. The session was at the couple's house and their children were really immature; the whole time you could hear the children running throughout the house, peering out at us, giggling, screaming, throwing things, etc. I thought they were about 6 or 7 but she later told us they were 11 and THIRTEEN!</p>
<p>themagster:
It would be acceptable to let Cornell know about the interview. I'm sure they would want to know, and they would arrange for you to have another interview. You would need to include concrete examples of the behavior, of course. </p>
<p>(I've seen this opinion in college admission guides.)</p>
<p>Princeton:</p>
<p>-intelligent
-funny
-retired</p>
<p>ries, yale. it's been two weeks since our interview. i still want to send him a thank you note. should i ask a question in that thank you note(not an email)?</p>
<p>why would I ask questions about his daughter's college research? that sounds a bit bizarre and random and irrelevant.</p>
<p>string theory-whoa.</p>
<p>themagster, that made me laugh... :)</p>
<p>chicago: super nice, old, nostalgic<br>
brown: young, hip, laidback</p>
<p>Dartmouth: felt like a one sided convo of just me talking
Northwestern: nice, friendly, engaging</p>
<p>georgetown: older middle-aged (60 maybe?), friendly, interested.</p>
<p>he was a pretty nice guy, a doctor--the only problem was he kept getting called out to talk about a patient w/ some gross intestinal problem (i could hear.) :(</p>
<p>Penn: Im not sure if he was listening
WUSTL: Nice, but I had to keep the convo going
Duke: tomorrow
Brown: I have no idea if they are even going to give me an interview</p>
