people?!!?!?!! the thread was on the 3rd page....
Had my visa interview today
I had to wait for about 2 hours before my name finally was called..but the "interview" was pretty sweet:

Consular: So Mr. Rister, why do you want to go to the US?
Rister: To study.
Consular: [skimming through my forms] Where do you want to study?
Rister: Univ...
Consular: Ah, here it is..UPenn! Lucky you!
Rister: Thank you
Consular: Tell me something about your program.
Rister: It's a dual-degree program! I'll get two degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies from Penn's College of Arts and Sciences and a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Wharton.
Consular: That sounds terrific. Of course I approve your visa, good luck with your studies.
Rister: Thank you very much.

=D

My interview was a similar one. I forgot the exact sequence of events, but these questions stand out:
1.Which college are you going to?
2.You got 51,000 dollar scholarship?
3. Wow! Is this your SAT score? Wow!


Of course, these were the only questions I was asked.

Ooh, an omen for the future !

Please note the sarcasm. I'm a total disbeliever in superstition and omens and all that stuff.
