Official Stanford SCEA 2016 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>Has anybody had an admissions interview for any school yet??</p>

<p>I have mine for Harvard tomorrow and have NO IDEA what to wear! My interviewer did not say whether or not this was casual but it’s at his house so I can’t imagine it being super formal.</p>

<p>Go fully nude.</p>

<p>Yeah Fiesta Bowl!!!</p>

<p>Yep, against Oklahoma State.</p>

<p>@callmesarahhh I’d imagine it to be kinda casual, a polo and khakis would probably be fine or you could be unconventional like Steve Jobs, black turtle neck, jeans, and sneakers. ^^</p>

<p>I had one with MIT haha.
We met a coffeeshop. I wore casual business attire (blouse, skirt).
My interviewer was actually dressed pretty formally, so I was like <em>whew</em>
Just wear something nice; I read somewhere “dress like you want to get in”</p>

<p>I flying out to go see UChicago, so I will do one on campus. But, I will be wearing “dress to impress.” As in a full suit, with a tie, etc…</p>

<p>@tsukiyami: good thing i’m a girl and can’t really go with the khaki & polo outfit haha</p>

<p>@jinglebell: thanks! I’m thinking a similar outfit with flats(:</p>

<p>also, what type of questions did they ask you? I’m worried that my interviewer is going to pull out a bunch of political and current event type questions that I have no idea about!</p>

<p>they’re not going to test you, but having some interesting stuff that you know about couldn’t hurt.</p>

<p>based on my Harvard interview experience, they like to ask you about books. What are you reading? What do you enjoy? Don’t put on some ultra-literary fa</p>

<p>If decisions come out on the 9th, here’s a countdown</p>

<p>[Countdown</a> to Dec 9, 2011 3:00 PM in San Francisco](<a href=“Time since Dec 9, 2011 3:00 pm started in San Francisco”>Time since Dec 9, 2011 3:00 pm started in San Francisco)</p>

<p>^hahahahahah that’s awesome</p>

<p>A nice text convo I had with my friend girl (not girlfriend) that really took some stress off and hopefully by reading it, it will for you guys too! No one I know is applying to schools in the states from my area in Vancity, so it gets lonely in the process, and it’s nice to a friend who understands!! </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Then we started debating about dr. oz, oprah, and kanye. Lol, I’ll spare you that part. </p>

<p>So moral here: You guys are awesome. Applying is a huge achievement. :)</p>

<p>That made me literally smile. Awesome.</p>

<p>Thanks captain obvious; I already knew I was awesome.</p>

<p>Here is my personal countdown:</p>

<p><a href=“Time since Dec 9, 2011 3:00 pm started in San Francisco”>Time since Dec 9, 2011 3:00 pm started in San Francisco;

<p>^ Messed up</p>

<p>@lordfarquaad, EWWWWWWWW you talk to girls, don’t girls have cooties?</p>

<p>hahaha lordfarquaad I love it! My friends and I are planning to get ice cream regardless of the decision :smiley: </p>

<p>will you guys be listening to a certain song when you open the decision email?</p>

<p>In all seriousness, @lordfarquaad, how is applying an achievement? ANYBODY can apply.</p>

<p>Do you guys still think we’ll get decisions on the 9th, given that the committee is meeting this week?</p>

<p>I hope so. I want to get this over with. This is worse than water boarding.</p>
