<p>Hey I got a message about my interview on the 23rd. I’m a white male from Texas with moderate grades. My interview went really well. A lot of laughs and jokes. It lasted 45 minutes. How much do interviews matter?</p>
<p>What message did you get about your interview? I’m confused - did you get the message before or after your interview, and what did it say?</p>
<p>That’s great that your interview went well! I can’t say for sure how much it plays into the admissions decision, but a good interview definitely goes a long way. After all, it’s in place for candidate weekends.</p>
<p>Oh I meant for my interview. It basically just requested to talk to me. On the website apparently only competitive candidates get interviewed. Is that true?</p>
<p>Oh yeah before your interview - yeah I interviewed for Shanghai, too. Who interviewed you, by the way?</p>
<p>I think mine went well too - not 45 minutes, but it went about 5 minutes over. And yes, only competitive candidates are interviewed, and I think a good interview like that goes a really long way.</p>
<p>It was Mike or mark. I will have to look at the email. What about you?</p>
<p>Oh yeah I just interviewed with a woman from my region - I think it went really well. I hope so, anyway. Hey, have you gotten an FA change?</p>
<p>FA change?</p>

<p>^info here</p>
<p>It says award access not available. What does that mean?</p>
<p>Yeah that’s the same as mine. I think you have a good chance of getting into Shanghai, and so I think that just means that Shanghai applicants have not been fully processed yet or something. Did you put Shanghai as your first choice campus, or your second?</p>
<p>It was my primary one. Ya the guy said that they were reviewing them all next week. I don’t have an astounding gpa though, but my counselor wrote about how I have progressed, and the only time that I did badly was when I had no home. So I hope that my special story helps</p>
<p>Are you ED1?</p>
<p>Hey that’s like me! I don’t have like an astounding GPA and my SAT is only okay, but I had a weird story that interrupted my education.</p>
<p>What were your reasons for wanting to go to Shanghai? I mean it’s not everyday a white kid from Texas wants to go. I’m adopted from China, and so that’s part of why I want to go (part - not nearly all). I’m just curious why other people want to go. I’m the only person I know.</p>
<p>And yeah I’m ED1 with Shanghai as my primary.</p>
<p>Hey and so your guy said they were reviewing all applications next week meaning this week? What else, if anything, did he say about the application process/what they are looking for, etc.?</p>
<p>Where do you currently live? And it’s because I love Chinese culture. I also want to know what it feels like to be an immigrant. Everyone always assumes that I am the same as them because they are Christian, white, and upper-middle class. I was very poor and I am Baha’i and I get treated badly because people think I’m in a cult.</p>
<p>I live in California. I’m adopted from China, but have never been associated with Chinese culture. Not really - that’s why I want to go. Crossing my fingers.</p>
<p>That’s a great reason, and I can see why they want you so badly! I mean honestly I gotta say, a 45 minutes interview seems like a shoe-in to me, but then again…that’s just me.</p>
<p>So he said that they are reviewing it this week - any other info gathered?</p>
<p>Not really, but it is all I can think about. I love that it is new and still growing but I can’t gather any more information because it is so new! I hope it’s good because if I was competitive enough already then I hope that it pushes it over for me</p>
<p>I think that a 45 minute interview is just…yeah I think you have nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>I love that it’s new too! I mean it frustrates me that there isn’t as much date so I can speculate pointlessly about whether or not I’ll be accepted though.</p>
<p>My interview lasted about 35 minutes, but most people’s lasted around or less than 30.</p>
<p>Well I think they will release it the week after next like around Dec. 12</p>
<p>Yeah I know for sure admissions decisions are going to be released on December 13th, 5pm EST - says so on Albert. But still…ahhh long wait.</p>
