<p>this has been asked before, but i see diff answers - some say the interviewer knows nothing abt your app or ECs beforehand, some say they get a list of ECs.</p>
<p>could anyone help me? thanks!</p>
<p>They normally don't have your application information. They only have your contact information. Most of them wouldn't want to see (know about) your application either. It's not what they do, and interviews are mostly informational.</p>

<p>This is post is pretty much all misinformation. You surely must not be a CU interviewer. Am I wrong?</p>
<p>Columbia2002, you seem to know the answer to this question. Would you care to share your knowledge with us about this subject?</p>
<p>Posted in the linked thread in post #2.</p>
<p>First of all, I am not an interviewer for CU as you said. I am speaking in general, not just specifically for CU. I have read post #2 as you cited. You said interviewers have application part 1, and part 1 contains name, address, high school, career goals (no majors), optional ethnic background, etc. Part 1 doesn't contain intended major, EC's, books read, etc., and they are in part 2. The point that I made is that they don't have your application information (part 2 in CU's case). I could still be wrong since I am not a CU interviewer, but it seems to me that post #2 supports what I said. Another words, it seems to me that we both basically agree.</p>

<p>I'm not sure why are you are "speaking in general" on a CU board without stating such and without actually knowing know how CU operates. You're speculating based on whatever knowledge you have, or don't have, about other schools -- which is wholly irrelevant here.</p>

<p>Um, no. Part 1 has the majors and ECs:</p>

<p>You're also incorrect in stating that the interview is "mostly informational."</p>
<p>ok, C02 seems to prefer verbal jabbing than actually answering the question, especially since he does know the answer.</p>
<p>The interviewers know:
- your name, address and contact info (obviously)
- your high school
- a couple bullet points on your interests - things like "ultimate frisbee" or "biology". This is pulled from a set list so i imagine it depends on things you checked somewhere.</p>
<p>some will also facebook you before the interview.</p>

<p>Do you? I generally look up my interviewees on facebook/myspace. The drunk pics are always amusing.</p>
<p>Thanks, Denzera. I am just a parent interested in learning a bit of each school my D applied to so that I may be helpful when it comes to my D's decision in April. pmwosa and indiejimmy, I just hope that you got the answers you were looking for.</p>
<p>I don't facebook my interviewees, no. The last thing I need is to prejudice myself any more, or to break the barrier between "friend" and "interviewee". Facebooking just doesn't give me enough useful information (in an interview context) to be worth all the risks to my judgment and write-up.</p>

<p>Not talking about actually adding them as friends. Do it after you've made up your mind about what you're going to say / filled out your report.</p>
<p>Can you even see their stuff or is it one of those "don't you wish you changed your privacy setting" guys?</p>
