<p>I applied RD and I did my interview in October, I believe, and it lasted about 30 minutes. After it was done he told me that he hates phone interviews and mines was the best one he has ever done. Later we were emailing each other back and forth about things but I stopped emailing him because he has been busy with a bunch of other applicants. Is the fact I he said it was the best interview and that we emailed each other back and forth a good sign that his recommendation will boost my chances a little. I’m also sending in part of my manuscript that was considered for publication [I turned it down because I felt as if it was not the best publisher for my book]. Will my interview and my manuscript give me a boost?</p>

<p>manuscript: doubtful. If it had been published, yes.</p>
<p>I told them it was considered for publication but I denied their offer to publish it because I felt as if they were not the right publishers to publish my book. I feel as if that gives me a boost because honestly I care about my work and I am serious about it instead of getting allowing the first book publisher publish my book.</p>
<p>Like people have said before, his rec might boost your chances if you are on a razor’s edge and they need that info from the interviewer to cross-reference to your app then MAYBE it would bump you up a nanometer. </p>
<p>My advice: Stop worrying so much about things that have already passed.</p>
<p>I just received an email from the interviewer!</p>
<p>Congrats! Good Luck!</p>
<p>thanks, she was a PLME student and already told me that she is informal, don’t like the weird questions</p>
<p>Hello. How should students address the representative who is interviewing them? How do you feel about using “sir” and “ma’am?”</p>
<p>I think that “sir” and “ma’am” are slightly over the top. My interviewer, who was a middle-aged successful businessman, told me to call him by his first name…</p>
<p>thank you!</p>
<p>I would be surprised if anyone would be penalized for being polite.</p>
<p>I already did an interview but i never needed to talk in that way, you know, I just used “you” because was young person. however we have to be polite and respectful.</p>
