<p>So I was wondering what some of your favorite interviews were!
I'll give a run down of mine:
Cornell: Enjoyed it, a young lady who was a recent Cornell grad. She was only five years older than I am, but wasn't particularly amazing. Not a bad start.
Harvard: Hated this one. The lady was so ridiculously awkward. Turned me off from Harvard a great deal. She did get me some hot chocolate though!
Yale: My favorite one. The guy was really mature and made you feel enlightened even. Was pretty humbling, I hope I get into Yale.
Chicago: Never had one! </p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
<p>HonorCentaur! My Yale interview was my favorite too! The lady was so nice and we talked for almost two hours! She was the kind of interviewer that you could tell was really passionate about Yale and really enjoyed what she does.</p>
<p>My harvard one was the WORST! The woman was basically grilling me about why I chose certain classes and things of that nature. And this wasn’t my first interview, so it wasn’t me not being used to college interviews. She seemed pretty cold.</p>
<p>My best was princeton- I got a very motherly woman, and she was amazingggg. We had a great conversation and I’m super happy with our talk! 
</p>
<p>Haha I haven’t gotten a Yale interview…</p>
<p>no wonder those harvard kids are so miserable.</p>
<p>ha yeah my Harvard interviewer was sooo awkward.</p>
<p>Chicago - Pretty good. A nice woman, informal interview, very informed about the college. Nothing particularly special.
Harvard - Like Chicago. I learned a lot about Harvard.
Pomona - By far the best. The interviewer made me want to go to Pomona really badly. It basically because a conversation. I actually managed not to be stiff and inarticulate, as I usually am.
Swarthmore - Canceled due to bad weather…</p>
<p>I’ve had a ton, so here goes (in the order that they took place):</p>
<ul>
<li>Haverford: Loved it. She was a high school teacher teaching literature, so we had a nice discussion about Camus. Our personalities clicked.</li>
<li>Wesleyan: The guy was nervous and awkward, which I found endearing, but he didn’t have much to say about Wes, which is now near the bottom of my list</li>
<li>Tufts: Laid-back and lighthearted chat, but not enlightening.</li>
<li>Brown: Personalities clicked. The guy was pretty smart, but not pretentious- pretty typical of Brown. Loved the freewheeling conversations (talked about his wife, dogs, etc). He also went out of his way to walk me two blocks to my bus stop. The interview definitely played a part in boosting Brown to near the top of my list.</li>
<li>Oberlin: Awful. Maybe it had something to do with my interviewer being a psychotherapist? He asked some questions that I didn’t feel comfortable answering.</li>
<li>Vassar: Okay. I was pretty composed and coherent here, but the interview itself wasn’t that engaging.</li>
<li>Middlebury: Liked it a lot, albeit my interviewer was intimidating, if only because he was so well-spoken. He credited a lot of personal and intellectual growth to Midd, and considering he wound up at Stanford Business after graduating, he didn’t do too bad for himself.</li>
<li>Cornell: Soft-spoken interviewer, but really nice. Didn’t seem as enthusiastic about his alma mater as some of my other interviewers, but gave me a good impression overall.</li>
<li>Dartmouth: Last stretch! I was sort of exhausted by then, and even forgot to do a quick mental review of responses to potential questions. I did like my interviewer a lot, though, and we seemed to share the same thoughts about the purpose of education. I really liked that he had graduated from Dartmouth, went to Stanford for grad, and became a high school teacher, despite the pressure to go into a more lucrative field.</li>
