<p>I’m interviewing with Cynthia Cupples this Sunday at her house in Laurel.
What would your recommend in terms of dress?
Are slacks/polo/loafers good or should I add a dress-shirt/tie in to be safe?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>WOOT! Finished me interview today! : ) Very happy. I think it went fairly well…I think. hahah. I kept having to ask, “and…uh…where was I?” but other than that…it went relatively smoothly - I mean, no major break downs and traumas : )</p>
<p>I’m interviewing tomorrow and I have no idea what to wear!!! (I’m a guy!)
I’m interviewing at a private home. Will slacks and a tie be too formal???</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Nah, I think a tie and slacks would be fine. Jacket might be a bit much for a private home. I’d say go formal, that’s what I did.</p>
<p>i went casual just to stay comfortable…but i had the interview at school. Did anyone else choose Cornell II as their first-ranked seminar?</p>
<p>We’re getting closer! Only ~2 weeks at this point, and luckily for me they’re going to be extremely hectic.</p>
<p>Yes I did, most of the people on here had Cornell 2 as their first choice…</p>
<p>two questions to everybody:
- anybody still have to get interviewed?
- what were your choice rankings?</p>
<p>I’m getting really really anxious. Before my interview, I was like, “yeah! it’d be awesome if I could get into TASP! I’ll just make sure to do well on my interview! ladedadedahhh” and now the interviews over, I still feel like, “it’d be awesome if I could get into TASP!” but instead of having something I can personally do to influence the final result, now all I can do is wait. Wait and worry that I won’t get in. I worry because I didn’t think my essays or interview were phenomenal. I worry because I don’t even know if I DESERVE to be in TASP (though I sure as hell hope I do, and have faith in myself, just not the sort of self-assured confidence that I’m exactly what they’re looking for, hands down). Maybe I’m just feeling less confident now to prepare myself for the possibility of a rejection letter, but this is really eating me :[</p>
<p>Sorry for the long and probably pointless post-- just had to vent to people who probably understand my plight :[</p>
<p>and personally for the two questions
- obviously, my interview’s done
- 1- UMich/2-Cornell II/3-UT Austin/4- Cornell I</p>
<p>I remember that someone has their interview on the 18th, so we still have a few to go. </p>
<p>Yeah baby! UMich rocks the sheets. The only seminar that I can’t remember anyone putting first (anyone who made the essay cut, anyway) is UT Austin.</p>
<p>No, man, I TOTALLY understand. Now that I’m done with my interview and everything, I really really want to get in…hahah, why couldn’t I have had this zeal BEFORE the interview??</p>
<p>I wish I could get this destructive zeal off me so a rejection would not crush me entirely</p>
<p>Cornell II, UT Austin, UMich, Cornell I</p>
<p>same preference high five</p>
<p>cornell II, U mich, Cornell I, then UT Austin. at this point, i don’t care which one they throw me in…as long as I get in</p>
<p>I’m with you on that one. My interviewer goes “So if you get placed into Cornell I, would you still say yes?” And I practically interrupted her and said “Yes!!!” Haha all of them seem so cool…grrr give me that letter!</p>
<p>i still have not had my interview. more time to prep, but also more time to worry. D:<</p>
<p>My interview was different than all of yours, it seems. We barely even mentioned the reason that we were there; it was like, “Hey, are you Blankety-Blank? Hi. Okay, time for Essay One.”
(55 minutes later) “And that’s all we have to ask about Essay Five. Okay; any questions?”
I ask about which TASP seminars they went to. One of my interviewers apparently went to a seminar that he described as (exact words) “a study of porn in literature”, which was about the human body.<br>
“Any other questions?”
“Umm…no. Just so you know, I really, really want to go to TASP.”
“Okay. Is there any place we can get dinner around here?”</p>
<p>I also had really young interviewers. I think they were both seniors at Cornell, but one might’ve been a junior. The woman interviewer (the one that didn’t go to the porn seminar) had a British accent. But yeah; we didn’t talk about TASP AT ALL. Not even a little. Essay, essay, essay, go up the street to get sushi. The end. </p>
<p>(despair slump) I wanna goooo…</p>
<p>My interview was almost entirely about why I want to study economics and agricultural subsidies. We didn’t touch my critical analysis or book list. I don’t know that they’d have enough to judge me on for any other program BUT Cornell II.</p>
<p>I hope that’s a good thing haha</p>
<p>had mine today!!</p>
<p>It was cool i think, we only got to my first two essays and then we ran out of time, so that could be good or bad i dunno. </p>
<p>we talked about the good in mankind and our education system, they were really cool people and made me feel very comfortable. Now for the wait lol!</p>
<p>Is it unheard of for someone to choose not to do TASP is they get selected for a specific program? (COUGH COUGH CORNELL I)</p>
