<p>About five minutes after I woke up I received a phone call from a Cornell alumnus. She just asked if I had any questions.</p>
<p>Was this an interview? I'm concerned because I wasn't really awake yet and I'm sure I screwed up somewhere. </p>
<p>Some gems from the conversation</p>
<p>Her: Good luck!
Me: you too</p>
<p>That was the alumni contact, yes.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Really? At least you didn’t drag it out. I once had an interview that ended like:</p>
<p>Him: Good luck!
Me: You too… I mean, uh, not good luck, er, well, good luck with stuff, and yeah…</p>
<p>We only talked for about three minutes tops…eek.
I live in a fairly small town and I’m sure there’s no alumni in the area, is that why she didn’t schedule an interview?</p>
<p>Yep. Ideally she would have told you that she would call back again at a later date for further questions, but don’t worry about it. It’s not going to hurt you.</p>
<p>Yikes. I hope this doesn’t happen to me. I usually wake up VERY late and am incomprehensible if I am half-asleep. My conversation would go more like:</p>
<p>Interviewer: (Insert any form of speech here)
Me: Hajiiergviaerj</p>
<p>dont worry about interviews. they are pretty worthless… my interviewer from cornell “interviewed” 16 of us at the same time in a room. i didn’t even say a word. infact about 4 people out of the group said something. i went in, signed in, waited til it finished, and left</p>
<p>I had an ‘interview’ today. I got contacted via email. We met up and talked for an hour 
I had a lot of questions i hope it helps me!!</p>
<p>The interviews account for nothing unless you’re applying to one of those colleges that require one… like hotel.</p>
