<p>everyone has asked me if my interviews have been good, and i feel like they all went well, but i don't know what a "good interview" is, because you're really just talking about yourself. </p>
<p>anyone who has been accepted want to share their "good interview" experiences?</p>
<p>all of mine have been at least 45 minutes long, most of the times lasting so long that other kids AND their parents arrived, both got interviewed, and left. i have made all my interviewers laugh at least twice, and shared some kind of a connection or heard some personal information about the interviewer.</p>
<p>i got a letter from peddie, but nothing from all of my other schools.
except the rest were alumni interviews, so um maybe (hopefully) its different...</p>
<p>How about "You've done a really great job. I can really see you here." Do you think that is a meaningful comment from an interviewer? Or do they always say that?</p>
<p>Coolgirl - it sounds as though you did well. I would define a good interview as just what you described.</p>
<p>To everyone (bestswimmer too) - most interviewers send a thank you of some sort. Some do a hand written note, some a standard post card with a hand written note on it, some a letter with a hand written note on it. Some do not. Some, I think wait until the candidate sends them one (just a guess). Some I think, just don't send them. One of my son's best interviews (based on feedback we got from the interviewer who told us he answered a question "the best of the year" and he had written down the answer and read it to us word for work, so I beleive him) he didn't get a note. He has not gotten ANY email notes. </p>
<p>I tell you all this so that you don't think if you didn't get an email that you did poorly. All the admins and schools have different sytles.</p>
<p>nmama - I don't think they would say that without meaning it, but it in no way means you are in. I'm sure a whole lot of people who are rejected did a great job in the interview too and would qualify for that comment (and probably got it).</p>
<p>I don't think you can tell from reactions because each interviewer is different. Some interviewers might send postcards or whatnot, some interviewers like to encourage applicants and tell them they definitely have a chance, some are honest.... I don't know.</p>
<p>Um, this is making me nervous because even though I think my interview went well, I never received anything from the interviewer. I did call and personally thank her for her time, but other than that and the interview, there has been no contact.</p>
