@AboutTheSame Nothing I said is inherently wrong. Everyone on this website says that the interview doesn’t matter very much in the process. I never said it didn’t matter, I never said don’t try. I prepped for my Dartmouth interview. Of course I did. I arrived thirty minutes beforehand (and then waited for an hour and my interviewer didn’t show up so that’s great). You should do it, you should do well, but don’t stress out too much. That’s all I was saying. Of course you don’t know for sure. A lot of people on this website don’t know for sure, but everything I’ve read says that the interview is not going to be make or break. This person asked for tips, and I tried to help them when no one else did. Posted on 1/19, had 100+ views, no one tried to help until I did. Don’t ignore everything else I said, and just pay attention to that part. My Dartmouth interviewer said it was super casual, my Brown interviewer said he’d been doing interviews for years and he still doesn’t know the role they play. Of course they play a role. I never said they didn’t. But is the decision going to be made based on the interview? Of course not!
