i'm not reallya mathematician, i mean i really like maths, but i have only gone as far as the regional phase in the maths olympiad. i'm more interested in sciences like bio and chemistry, beacuse i wanna do medicine.
don't worry about the interview, people, really, it's a cool opportunity to talk to someone from your dream school. i know i was freakin' out before the interview too, but it was sooo nice that i didn't want to hang up at the end. they're great people, people who can talk about anything. and they're superpassionate about their school. or that's how my princeton interviewer was...

I asked because I know a girl named Oana from Bucharest and applying to US, but who was a mathematician. I thought maybe it was you. I like chem and bio too, but medicine does not attract me at all.

Except for Edvin, has anybody heard anything about a Harvard interview? I already heard of 4 guys who have received an email, but nothing to me...

Oana, as far as I know international students have problems studying pre-med in the US... anyway, I guess you know better what it is all this about

I wish I'd get to have a face2face interview for Harvard... but... no email yet

plusqueparfaite: i plan to major in bio and che and then go to med school...if i don't change my mind about it ;-)
i know a girl in my school who has a harvard interview, which is supercool, but i guess i won't have one because i sent harvard an email requesting an interview, and they said something like in romania there aren't enough interviewers...so i won't have one
but good luck to all of you applying to harvard!!

^angelutza: there are only 2 harvard interviewers in Romania. One of them - Stefan Ichim '04 - contacted me approx 10 days ago

good luck with you princeton interview, and with your applications, of course!

Well I live in the US, but I only came here five years ago and am also going through the application process right now.

I have my Princeton interview Saturday. I hope that goes well.

Harv Interview

Hey, I have my Harvard interview this week. Has anyone had the interview with Stefan Ichim? I could really use some tips (questions, atmosphere, etc.) Oh, yeah, had my Princeton interview yesterday (phone), it went pretty well. The interviewer was cool and funny and knew a lot of stuff about Princeton.

^adrienutza7000: I have. He’s a great guy. He graduated in 2004 and double-majored in physics and electrical engineering. Don’t worry about the atmosphere, it’s nothing overly formal. As for the questions, they’re the usual; he will probably start by introducing himself and by asking you the “what can you tell us about yourself” question. Other questions you should expect are “interests/passions?” and “why United States?”. Good luck.

Whom did you have your Princeton interview with? How was it?
