hey, i had an interview a couple weeks ago and i personally think it went really well. my interviewer is a retired professional soccer player, he was only 26…wow. anyways, he told me a lot of stuff i wanted to hear, saying that i was one of the best, if not the best, prospective student he has interviewed…although, i honestly think he was just saying that to make me happy. but anyways, i was wondering what effect the interview has on the admission decision. i think i’m in range sat, gpa, extracurricular-wise, (and i think i’m a big fish in a small pond…i don’t mean to belittle myself or seem cocky…however u see it) although i don’t think i’m exceptional because the ppl who apply to duke, or any school of it’s caliber, are pretty amazing. just for the record, i have already been deferred by cornell and uchicago, and have been accepted by notre dame. so are my chances of getting into duke like 0?
