<p>I had an interview with the local representative from penn in January. It went pretty well, I feel like i came off as a very multidimensional, diverse individual. Do you think this would have given me an edge as opposed to someone who didnt have one? I was also selected as a finalist for the QuestBridge scholarship program; could this have helped me with admission?</p>

<p>Interviews don’t do anything. My dad’s an interviewer and I know they’re constantly frustrated that what they do doesn’t help and most of the people that they interview get rejected. It wouldn’t be fair if it would give you a competitive edge, think about the people who can’t get an interview.</p>
<p>The only thing you can read from getting an interview is that they haven’t already ruled you out. </p>
<p>If there is something amazing that came up in your interview that wasn’t in your application I guess it could help but I feel like if it was that amazing a thing, you would have included it in your application or sent an update if it was something new.</p>
