<p>Interview:
Went extremely well, my Admissions Officer was a Political Science major and I am very interested in politics, philosophy, ethics, etc. so we had a very interesting conversation. Also met with soccer coach for well over an hour and sailing coach for about 45 minutes.</p>
<p>Don’t really have any sort of hook/story/etc… Come from a highly ranked public school in a rich white/asian town/area… Live with my mom and younger brother. What do you think my chances are for getting in to Hotchkiss? I would need pretty much full FA…</p>
