I had an admissions interview with Thunderbird today and I don’t think it went well. For my answer to the “Why our school” question I somehow drew a blank and gave a weak answer. I tried to salvage and expand on my answer, but I stuttered and it was definitely a lackluster performance. I answered most of the other questions ok, but there was maybe one or two others that I gave answers that were weak. I don’t feel like I was able to say everything I wanted, especially in the clearest way, and I don’t think I was able to show the amount of knowledge I actually knew about the program. However, I did ask a lot of questions and I think that showed my interest and knowledge a little. I did much better asking the questions. What kind of impact can this have on my admission? Does that fact that I made the effort to interview, showed interest, dressed nice, etc., basically I sought out the opportunity, count for something?
