wondering if anyone else out there is nervous after the interview, in terms of whether you will get in or not.
 
Yep, you bet. It depends though on how you feel the interview was. Did your interviewer give you any indication about how you did or about your chances? I was nervous after my interview because is really tough (probably impossible) to have a perfect interview. Alot depends on the type of interviewer you get as well...

best thing to do now is sit back and relax. no point in worrying, just have hope and faith. The fact that they interviewed you means the school were seriously considering your application.
 
I'm sure I will be feeling the same way after my first interview on Wednesday. Not much that you can do now, its in their hands. No point in worrying. The good news is you got through the first one, so the others should be easier!
 
I definitely am. I think my interview went pretty good but I'm still nervous as heck. And all I can do is pray and wait...
 
The time between post-interview and getting an acceptance letter is hard on any applicant. You are definitely not alone. Just have some peace of mind and wish for the best! Let your positive thoughts manifest into reality!
 
when I didn't present myself enough during my interview.

However, I think we should more focus on the next round of interviews waiting for us.

I "think" I have done good job during my interviews so far.

However, I got a feeling that the applicant pool will determine whether P or F.

With Satisfactory and feel organized! 😉
 
hey guys i have gone to 3 interviews already and im pretty sure i have gotten used to the feeling. basically the most important thing you can do during the interview is be relaxed. trust me on this one, becuase if you are not relaxed then you will screw up no doubt about that. be as thorough and specific as possible and practice the questions you think will be asked. do this infront of the mirror or schedule a mock interview at your school or something. the more you practice, the better you will become at answering the questions. and finally, again, stay relaxed i cant stress this enough!! but yes, after the interviews everyone tries to analyze their performance and stresses over it. but i think about it this way, what is done is done. just try and hold on until december 1st and focus on the next interviews lined up. Good luck everyone!!
 
Woohoo! I will be joining this wagon soon.. lol
the whole 'hurry up and wait' aspect of application process is slowly getting to me too... i've been cranky waiting for interview invites (only 1 so far) and feel really sorry for my roommate who's been the greatest victim of my emotional rollercoaster...

getting invited to interviews/going to interviews is a great accomplishment in itself because some schools have strict screening processes so just give yourself a pat on the back and try to relax as much as possible 🙂
