How do you know where you stand? I will ask M..... tmr and hopefully she will tell me if I'm an alternate or not. If I'm in, I'll go with the basic. Doing science class in summer is never a good idea. Anyway I will worry about that later. Right now the interview is the only thing in my head. After reading last year thread, I figured the interview will NOT affect our admission. We will do group activity (probably 5-6 persons per group), play some kind of "game" like you describe an item and the other person will have to figure what item that is, watch a video and answer questions/ write short essay about it, .... Last year this girl did really bad on her interview (according to her), she was still accepted eventually. so I don't worry too much about it. Right now we are already ranked. and the outcome of the interview won't change it. Good luck to all !!
