<p>I'm not sure how well my interview went; I was a bit nervous during the interview since Tufts is one of my top choices, and I think I may've messed up because of it.</p>
<p>How much is the interviewed weighed? Will I be hurt by this?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>interviews are only to give your app a more “person” sense</p>
<p>they do not impact your chances (unless they find out that you’re another virginia tech guy or something)</p>
<p>Hey, Jsungoh! Thanks for the reply! I do have a question about that though-- what if the interviewer found your personality to be lacking, or that they didn’t feel that you would fit in at Tufts? Wouldn’t that negatively impact your chances?</p>
<p>Honestly, no. I don’t know of any college where alumni interviews carry a lot of weight. </p>
<p>This makes sense if you think about it. Unless it’s done on campus, the process of interviewing is incredibly decentralized. The admissions office can give alumni guidelines for interviewing, but they have no control over whether, or how well, their volunteer interviewers follow the guidelines they’re given. Not only can they not control what their interviewers do, but in many cases, they can’t even know whether the interviewers do their jobs well or not. If I’m an admissions officer in Medford, Mass., how am I really going to know whether I should trust a report from some alumnus in San Jose, Calif.?</p>
<p>Seriously, if you’re bound and determined to worry, you could find something a lot more worth worrying about than this.</p>
<p>No prob hawkdancer (:</p>
<p>Uh, I don’t believe that an interviewer has jurisdiction on thinking if you fit in (since the interviewer usually isnt an admissions officer)</p>
<p>unless you state something like “I don’t like travelling out of state” (and you live in like Florida or something) or a very alarming fact comes out, it will NOT at any means, hurt your chances at all.</p>
<p>@Sikorsky - Thanks! That’s heartening. :)</p>
<p>@jsungoh - That’s a relief, then. Thanks :D</p>
