3underscore,

Sucks that this did NOT happen to you. However, if this had happened to me, I would do the following:

- Contact the interviewer and ask him in a nice way if anything was "off" that day. Express your surprise that the interview was so short.
- See if the interviewer responds in any way
- Contact the school that you with the concern about the brevity of the interview and ask them if they would recommend any next steps

Hope this helps to whomever this happened to.

Cheers for the hypothetical advice.

The guy is really quite surprised that the whole principle and process of admissions had changed. That is what makes the scenario odd - that the very short twelve minutes you have had were under a different pretence to how the interview would be valued.

It is possibly the most bizarre thing ever. The story has so many other bizarre nuances.

In this imaginary scenario I don't care so much whether he has recommended or not, just that I would have to wait another 1.5 months knowing that this would be a big part of it.

Since the school didn't bother to update the interviewer with the changed interviewing policies, I doubt the interviewer feedback is valued highly by the school...of course, hypothetically.

I recently had a bad experience with my back-up school and I kind of feel like calling up the director of admissions and telling him his operation is complete sh*t, but I suppose I'll wait to see how it pans out before making a commotion.

In your case I would not worry about it because I don't think there's anything you can do. If you call the ad-com and say that you are worried by the short interview, worst case scenario they think you're paranoid and uptight, best-case scenario they apologize and then re-evaluate whether they'll use the interviewer next year. Not a lot of upside I would imagine.

I would go with B.

Sure, may be the interviewers comment is not taken too seriously. But we are still talking about one of the data points in the application process. You didnot work so hard to get only a 12-min face time.

Also, somewhere I read that student are now the consumers hence as consumers it is our right to express displeasure if we are not satisified.
