Inserting Politics into College Interviews

<p>I applied to seven schools with alumni interviews.</p>

<p>I’m a conservative, and the extra curricular activites on my application were evident of my political leaning.</p>

<p>All of the interviewers I had, incidentally, were liberals. At a point in the interviews, all of them got to politics. I remember my Yale interview:</p>

<p>"You are a bright young man, how can you honestly support Bush, "</p>

<p>I took the opportunity to blow him away and show him that there is a basis to my beliefs I just don’t mimic daddy in the voting booths. </p>

<p>All of my interviews went great. I would hope that an alumni of a prestigious school is openminded enough to respect you, regardless of your beliefs, if they are well thought and sincere.</p>

<p>I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that most interviewers will be liberals. Remember, we conservatives don’t care about education. Instead of interviewing loser 17-year-olds, we are off clubbing baby seals, causing global warming, exploiting third world country farmers, and killing innocent civilians worldwide. And finding tax loopholes. Duh.</p>
