UCB Regent Interview

<p>for those of you that already interviewed, did you guys get a lot of time to talk?
cuz my professor talked most of the time.</p>

<p>i thought it was almost 50/50 for me. how long did you guys spend on interview. my interview was 50 mins long- which was really weird cause i thought it was suppose to be only 30 mins.</p>

<p>Where did you interview? L.A or Berkeley?</p>

<p>L.A.
Mine lasted about 35 min. because the interviewer was running out of time for the next student... but if I were one of the first interviewees, the interview 'd probably last an hour or so :D He was such a nice professor to talk to!!
Btw, I 've heard before that the longer the interview is, the better, because it shows that the interviewer has interest in you - the prospective student :)</p>

<p>LA grand wilshire hotel</p>

<p>yup~ hey madamebovary!!
I probably saw you if you went to LA just yesterday!!</p>

<p>i went today march 4</p>

<p>ohh never mind then... still~ congratzz we are both in Berkeley :D</p>

<p>When you go for the interview and if you are a girl,
do you have to wear a collared shirt??</p>

<p>well, it adds a tone of formality :) I did wear a collared shirt, just so my semi-formal out fit does not seem too casual.
But it really depends on your personality. I believe the interviewers want to see a "you-person" beyond that of GPAs and SATs</p>

<p>how many letter of rec are we supposed to bring?
I can't find where i saw this</p>

<p>we can bring recs? i didn't know that. for those who went, how many of you guys brought recs? how would they have time to read?</p>

<p>I read on the interview tips page that you should bring recs...</p>

<p>It is definitely not required, just suggested. My d brought two letters, and her interviewer opened and read them right there on site.</p>

<p>i didnt do bring the letter- and i didnt see anyone near me at the interview who brought letters</p>

<p>my interviewer didnt read my letters of rec on site, he just put it into a folder that has my uc application and stuff, and i think my friend and i were the only ones who brought letters</p>

<p>o.O mine was like 20 mins....</p>

<p>Mine was nearly 30 minutes exactly. Overall, I'd say that the interview was ok, but OHP was better, especially once our little host-guests groups got talking.</p>

<p>Oh, and as everyone probably knows by now, the person with whom you register tell you that you've been accepted.</p>

<p>Anybody here whose interviewer tells (or hints) you that you are getting the scholarship? </p>

<p>I didn't but I have a friend who did.</p>

<p>o.O</p>

<p>you mean like you'll be a good investment to our school or you will fit well in my class? that type of things</p>
