<p>My interviewer didn’t seem to know much about interviewing. He was preoccupied with taking notes on everything I said, like in a lecture. Didn’t ask interesting questions at all. Just “tell me about yourself” and “what do you know about Tufts?” And “what do you want tufts to know about you?” </p>
<p>I tried to put in as much info as I could into those very non specific questions - but the interview barely lasted 30 minutes. I was disappointed. Other interviews if done were about an hour and they were all really fun and interesting. </p>
<p>My Tufts interview was amazing. My best interview, hands down. It felt like a real conversation, not an interrogation and while she wrote things down, she wasn’t staring at her paper. She also seemed genuinely interested in what I was saying, and told me about herself too.</p>
I just had my skype interview. It was very relaxed and felt like a conversation. He didn’t really focus as much on the conventional questions like why tufts and whatnot. However he talked quite a bit about himself. It almost felt like he didn’t know what to ask, so it only lasted 25 min. Is that a bad thing?
@lyonshall I think it just means you had a bad interviewer. Interviews do not have a big impact to your application either way so don’t worry about it.
I haven’t been contacted yet either. Maybe it has to do with location, but I am a bit nervous. I decided I’ll probably call or email admissions if I’m not contacted in the next week or two.
Haha, I hoped so too! It’s probably still both of our general areas. If I don’t get contacted by February 1st or a little earlier, I might call or email the school because I’m neurotic.
