Aurora, suit yourself. If the interviewer was joking, he would've said, knock knock, or, there were 3 guys sitting on a bar... However, it's your prerogative. Admissions invites you to interview because they like your application and think you might have a place in their school. An interviewer makes recommendations to you to help you get into their school. My interviewer's recommendation was, you should've applied early, oweing to the fact my application wasnt completed until a week after the deadline. But I'm sure he was just making small talk. Getting advice from peers is one thing, but misinterpreting an interviewer's advice is another. Everyone here, except for the interviewer, is second guessing on whether he/she meant: 1. retake and reapply for next year, 2. retake and they will reevaluate for this year. That's a BIG difference between the two. IMHO, it is foolish for any SDNer to make conjectures on someone else's future at this point. You are trying to base your sitch on someone else's sitch. If that's what you want to do, that's fine.
