It went alright. We talked for 1 hr 45 min. Score! He couldn't make eye contact, but I think after taking for a while, we got more comfortable. I really just talked about my passion and how I'm problem solving... and I came up with some questions to ask him about the atmosphere, residential living, and study abroad.

I am starting to doubt MIT a bit. I feel like I might be a bit too social to go there. The EC couldn't hold eye contact for more than a second, and even that seemed like a lot for him. He was a bit of the stereotypical MIT person, and I was hoping that that stereotype was a bit unfounded.... I guess not.

I'm less nervous about how the interview went, and more nervous about whether I should even want to go there. Gosh, I thought the interview was about me convincing him that I'm perfect for MIT.... not him scaring me!

What do you all think makes a good match between a student and a school.... especially MIT? I know about "the match between you and mit" article... I fit all of that without even trying that hard. It's more about is MIT the right place for me.
