<p>well....? please give some input</p>
<p>Resume and some questions typically.</p>
<p>Do we NEED to bring a resume???</p>
<p>I dont even have a resume lol I really didn't think it was necesary.</p>
<p>^^^and virtuoso do you know anything about interview availbility in the Bay area? I haven't heard anything yet and I'm kinda worried.</p>
<p>I ask students to bring a resume because it gets the conversation flowing and is a good reference when I'm writing the interview report. Point being, your interviewer may specify what you should bring.</p>
<p>On a related note, bringing art portfolios and music CDs is not helpful because I can't judge them properly. The fact that I think your art is good means nothing to the admissions office because I am not trained in art.</p>
<p>SerraPadre I got emailed for an interview I few days back...I think you'll get one.</p>
<p>I just got an e-mail saying the alum's secretary would contact me by phone.</p>
<p>How much do interviews count?
And do looks count? I mean, not necessarily dress, but like. hair color for one.
For instance, pink?
?</p>
<p>I wouldn't change my hair color for an interview - even if it was pink (sounds really cool). If you just pin it up or do something semi-fancy casual to dress it up that might actually make you look classy and show off a little spunk. It could even be a topic of discussion oddly enough.</p>
<p>I only recommend making a resume because it really does make the interviewer more comfortable with interviewing you and being confident that s/he has the opportunity to ask you questions over a wide range of academic and extracurricular interests. Also it can spur their memory and allow them to name drop some things that they found impressive about you in their report.</p>
<p>ahaha I didn't mean change my haircolor.
I just happened to get it done last night and recieve my interview e-mail when I got home. You don't think they'll discount me for it?</p>
<p>I didn't bring anything, because I didn't want to look like a nerd.</p>
<p>Bringing a mass of junk and resumes, in my opinion, makes you seem uptight and about what you look like on paper... and this is a chance to be you and pull out what is not on the paper... For example, I had a deep conversation about sewing clothes out of bedsheets (which was, naturally, not in my resume as an extracurricular activity).</p>
<p>Every interviewer is different. Some will want you to bring a resume and some just want to get to know you without stuff that would biase them. So what should you do? How about just asking him/her?</p>
