<p>How much does an interview affect one’s chances for admission? I’m CAS and it’s a ‘coffee shop’ interview. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>한국사람? The interview isn’t that important as long as you don’t screw up. He/She will write some good things for you but that’s about it.</p>
<p>i haven’t gotten an interview and i applied in early Dec… wonder what happened. i thought they contact us no later than one month after we apply.</p>
<p>Well you live in Kentucky</p>
<p>haah…we do have alumni tho. at the last college fair, four alumni were crowding around one table. besides, i talked to them and know that they all live in Lexington. some of my friends who applied already got interviews. should i call and ask?</p>
<p>to tun: yup, korean 
so as long as i dont screw up… sounds good!</p>
<p>how would one “screw up?”</p>
<p>good question… any answers?</p>
<p>Coming off as arrogant or rude ?
Very inarticulate ?</p>
<p>I thought it was an informational meeting. They told me it wasn’t a real interview, but whatever it was it went great anyway. At least I didn’t screw up.</p>
<p>Yeah, I heard it’s supposed to be a ‘non-evaluative’ interview. I guess that means informational? Well, I have to go take a midterm then rush on over to the coffee shop for the interview. Wish me luck–I’m a shy person at times, lol! Thanks everyone for your thoughts and inputs!</p>
<p>seoul - I know what you mean. I tend to be shy and sometimes inarticulate (:eek:) in unfamiliar situations.</p>
<p>Well, the interview went okay–I think.
takeme2cali- I think I came off to be shy and inarticulate during the interview, haha. probably because I hadn’t slept since 2AM studying for my ap physics midterm lol
To everyone that still has their interview, I would recommend to just be yourself–and well rested!
Thanks for all the help guys!</p>
<p>i dont want an interview. alot of interviews i heard about go into books and anaylsis of them and crap like that and i barely remember any of the books i read</p>
<p>They are “non-evaluative” but your interview does write something about you.</p>
<p>: / i applied early dec and i still havent gotten an interview… and i live in ct there are tons of cornell ppl everywhere</p>
<p>same here hinvestorp. from their website, it seems cornell is having hard time sorting thro its applications (no email/phone call until Feb). i wish i could at least check whether they received my app…right now my account doesn’t show anything.</p>
<p>yeah I got an e-mail this past thursday from an alum wanting to schedule an interview… I think I’ll call them back tomorrow since today is sunday. My schedule has been so hectic…
so,
what is the best place to have an interview?</p>
<p>My son was contacted for an interview with another two local kids at a coffee shop. Should he be dressed up formally or informally? Please reply as soon as possible. Thanks.</p>
<p>he should dress formally. even though it is in a coffee shop, it is still an interview for a school. first impressions mean everything. i went to my college interview and there was a kid after me who wore ripped shorts, a cut-off stained tanktop, a ratty old hat, and sunglasses on top of it. i have no idea how his interview went, but if i interviewed him, i would not have given him a great review based on how he presented himself. </p>
<p>my interview for architecture was HUGELY weighted, since not only did i have to answer questions, but i had to present my portfolio. and i actually had to prepare a lot for the interview. i had to know some architects and what they did, had to read books on architecture, and had to tell how i perceive buildings and cities and stuff. it was intense</p>
