<p>I just interviewed at Wesleyan and thought it went really well. The next day, my interviewer sent me an email "postcard" thanking me for coming etc. What was interesting, however, was that she cited some of the things I said in the interview (for example, she said "Good luck with softball" because I told her I was captain of the team and really loved it). Is this normal for schools like Wesleyan, or does it actually mean something? I never know what to think of these things.</p>
<p>She was just being nice and courteous as many (though not all) alumni interviewers are. It has nothing to do with your performance in the interview.</p>
<p>Okay thanks, that’s what I figured as well. I just wasn’t sure because other schools I’ve interviewed at have never included any personal snippets in the emails they send afterwards.</p>
<p>If you felt the interview went well, then I’m sure it did. Rarely in my experience of interviewing in various contexts have I felt really good about an interview only to discover the other side of the coversation did not feel the same. Your interviewer was probably being polite when sending the note, but that doesn’t rule out that she genuinely liked you and maybe she doesn’t send such warm notes to everyone. You might as well think positive (it doesn’t cost you anything to do so). Of course, the bad news is that the interview is only a relatively small part of the admissions process (so even if she loved you so much she wants to adopt you, ultimately her say is small), but its still a good thing to have a good interview. Good luck!</p>
<p>interviews are a 2-way street. They want to learn about you and they want you to have them as first choice. Writing a personal note might help you decide they are…however, if you felt the interview went well, then it did. Just remember all universities are businesses and they want the best kids to put them first and apply ED.</p>
<p>Wesleyan does that! If you interviewed with a senior, the admissions office has them write notes. It’s the polite thing to do. You should email your interviewer and that him/her.</p>
