Haha, I knew who you were for sure. I kept looking around at the pizza party and wondering what happened to you, and lo and behold, like 5 minutes before everyone dispersed, you came rumbling in with your LSU jacket. I guess I purposely didn't say or do anything to give myself away, maybe even occasionally playing dumb a little bit. But we definitely talked some. I mean, we didn't necessarily "bond so much" per se, but we had more than the typical small talk. But maybe you chatted it up with everyone, so I don't know if that means anything. I think I only really talked to about half of the interviewees. Too many people to get to really know them all. I would have preferred a smaller group. FYI for other people reading, I think there were maybe 18 or so of us, which they said was an unusually large interviewing group.
Oh, P.S. I thought it was funny when you asked that girl why she chose Wash U over her California state schools, and the guy next to her said that for him, it was cause none of the California schools accepted him. Before he said that, I was thinking the same thing; it's probably easier for a high stats person to get into Wash U than one of the better UCs. I'd think.
