<p>I had some difficulty scheduling my interview. It was rescheduled roughly three times due to weather or their personal situation so overall it was confusing. I believed the interview to be at one time but decided to go to the meeting place earlier just in case and the interviewer was packing up to head out as I walked in… I felt terrible being late like that and in all my other interviews I’ve been 15 min early and they’ve been fantastic so this mistake was out of the blue. We had a nice discussion about 30 minutes long because they had to leave for another event (most of my interviews have been an hour to an hour and a half long). I gave the individual a resume, transcript and a handwritten thank you card and apologized sincerely about being late due to the confusion… From chance me threads I’m a good candidate for schools in this tier and my resume shows that. I got across what I want to do (entrepreneurship + serve in office) and we discussed a couple interesting intellectual topics. The only feedback I got was that the interviewer saw strong personal determination in me that is what they want in stanford students. Normally it’s much more than that. Aghhhhhh I hate it when things don’t go perfectly

<p>How much do you think being late will effect the interviewer’s letter to the university? (I was probably 20 minutes late I believe…i know…no need to berate me on that I’m doing just fine at it myself)…</p>
