<p>I will have an interview with an alumni, and I am wondering if this is a good thing?
What do they ask?
Sorry, I am an international student and not familiar with college interviews :smiley: </p>

<p>Thanks, and best of luck to everyone! ;-)</p>

The interview doesn’t actually mean anything (there’s no sort of pre-screening of applications for interviews or anything) but it is a good chance to make a good impression in some way that isn’t indicated on your app. At my interview yesterday, the guy showed me what they wanted. It was 4 categories, and while I don’t remember them exactly, I know one was character, one was academic passion, and I’m fairly sure one was leadership(?). </p>

<p>From what I’ve heard, interviews either sort of help people or really hurt people. But just be yourself and try to give specific examples of your awesomeness! You’ll do great :)</p>

<p>@mrspotter
Thank you, that helped a lot. Now I can relax and don’t have to worry about it :)</p>

Random question, but is your ID supposed to be Mr. Spotter or Mrs. Potter? XD</p>

105

<p>^ Haha - funny how the brain works isn’t it?? :p</p>

<p>The first thing that would have come to anyone’s mind would obviously be mrs.potter, referring to an admiration of Harry Potter!!</p>

106

<p>I immediately thought of Mrs. Potter referring to Mrs. Potter’s Lullaby by Counting Crows haha</p>

107

<p>Haha yeah its supposed to be for harry, i mean there’s a lot to admire there lets be real. is there a date for decisions to come out that anyone knows of? :)</p>

108

<p>Did anyone else get an email notifying them of a banner systrm login? From my knowledge isn’t that only for attending students?</p>

109

<p>@bannedhero - That’s to check you application status!! :)</p>

<p>@mrspotter - March 28th is the common Ivy league notification date… :D</p>

110

<p>Sorry I am late to join the conversation! Do any of you know about Dartmouth sending ‘likely letters?’ I read on last year’s threads that people had heard back already about the ‘likely letters’ by this time of year. I know that they only send them to their top 1/3 of accepted students.</p>

111

<p>^^ the thread is here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/dartmouth-college/1453611-likely-letters-8.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/dartmouth-college/1453611-likely-letters-8.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

112

<p>so we’ll know on march 28th?</p>

113

<p>Yep March 28th’s the D-Day!! :D</p>

114

<p>So how will we be notified on March 28? Through email? Will we have to log into something? etc?</p>

115

<p>Dead thread. Good sign, in a sense. >.></p>

116

<p>@cassiebreeze - Most probably we have to log in to our applicant status page. I’m not sure though.</p>

<p>@philovitist - Yeah. But there’s a lot of activity on the Dartmouth International applicants thread!! :smiley:
Though it’s moved away from being a Dartmouth “only” thread to an “everything” thread! :)</p>

117

<p>I guess we should start being more active on this thread, seeing as the 28th isn’t far off. :P</p>

118

<p>Guys, which colleges are you waiting to hear from except Dartmouth?</p>

119

<p>The International thread is pumping as Rishav said :P</p>

<p>And I do believe that we will have to log onto their portal - like with CalTech and a lot of the other universities.</p>

<p>I’m still waiting to hear from Williams, Cornell, Rice, Brown, Yale, Bowdoin, Middlebury, McGill, and Northeastern.</p>

<p>I was accepted early to Grinnell, but now I’m freaking out because WUSTL waitlisted me. I’m really hoping that isn’t the harbinger of more bad news to come.</p>
