<p>do ECs want a resume or list of awards/activities?</p>
<p>Well, it depends; mine specifically asked me for one, but I get the feeling from others' accounts my interviewer was... abnormal. All I can say is, it depends.</p>
<p>Why not just send your EC an e-mail and ask? Couldn't hurt.</p>
<p>I just had my interview today. I brought... myself. That's it. And I think it went pretty well :-)
Just walk in, be polite, and talk to him/her. Be yourself and you'll do fine.</p>
<p>As an EC, I don't usually ask for anything to be brought. Remember a key part of the interview is to tease out that which isn't elsewhere on the application. Therefore, why would I want to ask about anything that can already be found on the application?</p>
<p>Again, I cannot speak for all EC's, your mileage may vary.</p>
<p>:)
you and your teddy bear and the teddy bear can do all the talking :D</p>
<p>Don't joke. It has happened. One young lady referred all of the interviewer's questions to her bear, then after some whispered consultation with the bear came up with an answer. She did not get in. I cannot attribute this solely to the interview, though I believe that the interview report questioned her "emotional maturity". If it had been my report, I might have used stronger language.</p>
<p>:D yes, i remember reading about the teddy bear incident on a blog,
at MIT about a year back or so....
....I actually know at least one kid who is extremely Xenophobic
and behaves this way.... :D</p>
<p>I brought copies of research papers i'd written and we had a fun discussion about those. but it definitely isnt necessary - I also brought a copy of my resume but didn't use it at all! It was just nice to have the paper to show him some cool graphs and stuff - he even suggested that they might be of the form of a bessel function, something I'd never heard of before!</p>
