<p>My interviewer doesn’t seem to have anything in common with me. He’s an investment banker type and, like, OLD.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p><em>I</em> like this! :p</p>
<p>Lol of course you do but at the moment, I do NOT.</p>
<p>Mine is an investment banker too, and is in his thirties I think, and he shares
ALL the same interests and things I talked about in my application.</p>
<p>I am going to die.</p>
<p>No really,</p>
<p>lets commit Ivy suicide collectively.</p>
<p>Hey hey hey, relax. Worst case, you can always text me while you’re on the phone saying “Oh crap, what do I talk about now? WHAT DO I SAY!?”</p>
<p>I can talk to him, I’m used to talking to my Dad’s clients, but stillllllllllllll. I wish he had stuff in common with me like yours did!</p>
<p>GB, having the SAME INTERESTS IS GOOD!!! I’m jealous!</p>
<p>Hey, you never know. Maybe he wrote for the BDH/was involved in theatre while at Brown.</p>
<p>Hahaha, I am sure it’ll be okay! We are meeting in one of my favourite coffee shops,
so thats fine! And if the conversation is dying I’ll just sing a song. YES! (Mine is actually
a Wall Street banker… What are the odds?!)</p>
<p>Anyway, </p>
<p>Yours will be great too, Quasi! I mean, everyone who volunteers to do these interviews
should be nice and involved. And not having the same interests could also be a good thing, so he can’t grill you on subjects!! (Not like mine would, I hope, but still.)</p>
<p>And Brown is cool!</p>
<p>ZOMG! I fell asleep styduying last night and got 20 mins or so to write my Why Reed before leaving for my exam. It was so rushed I wrote ‘Hooty Owl’ instead of ‘Doyle Owl’ 
Its a Reed folklore legend and kinda unofficial mascot
FAIL! <_<</p>
<p>hooty owl! hahaha at least you wrote something interesting! I wrote the usual intellectual crap.</p>
<p>lets exchange our why reed on the FB group :P</p>
<p>To everybody giving interviews- RELAX. I’ve had a few interviews over skype and they were all informal…dont think too much about it and think of the answers to these common questions-</p>
<p>What is your favorite subject in school? Why do you like it? (they might even ask you about your prospective major)
Why do you want to come to X College? What is the most important factor determining your college list? Which colleges have you applied to?
What is special about your high-school?
What are your hobbies? What ECs are you thinking of doing in college?
If I asked a friend about you, what would they say?
How will you contribute to the diversity on-campus? </p>
<p>The addmissions people asked me a few questions about my essay, so be prepared for those as well. Take a deep breath and calm down, just remind yourself that this interview is an amazing opportunity to impress the pants off the admissions commitee :D.</p>
<p>Well put, cheese.</p>
<p>PS: A friend of mine also got into DePauw. If both of you end up matriculating there, we didn’t meet on CC, okay? :p</p>
<p>I’ll say that we met on an internet dating site ;).</p>
<p>EDIT- Tetris, my arch nemesis got into Brown. Don’t believe the ******** that he says about me.</p>
<p>^Dumb people should not get into Brown. Dumb meaning annoying, because s/he’s your arch nemesis. :)</p>
<p>Omg I’m freaked out that they’re gonna ask about my essays in the interview!! I hope my interview is liberal.</p>
<p>Gary, my why Reed essay is crap and I wouldn’t be able to post it anyways since I won’t have access to my PC for a week. All my internet needs are being currently met through my phone.</p>
<p>As for the interviews, I believe they are not that important. Sensible admission committees can’t depend on them since the one-time impression the interviewer gets is highly subjective, and trivial compared to all the stuff you’ve been doing in the past years. I read somewhere that colleges do interviews mostly for marketing purposes.</p>
<p>OMG he’s your arch nemesis? He hasn’t brought you up! Not that I speak to him a whole lot…lol.</p>
<p>All my essays are crap. But anyway, I want an interview too!!! 
</p>
<p>In my country, if you get a Harvard interview, you’re past the first screening.</p>
<p>Generally, 70 apply 5 to 10 get interviewed 1 or 2 get in and 2-5 get waitlisted.</p>
<p>Again, I WANT A HARVARD INTERVIEW.</p>
<p>Aah! Really? My country is on the list of selective interviews too (like, “we only offer Dutch applicants interviews when we want more information” Meeh) !! I really want an interview for Harbie too 
But I like Princeton almost just as much! And Amherst! And Columbia! And my other schools who have yet to remain unnamed!</p>
