INTERVIEW DAY

We are coming down to the wire with the MIT applicant interviews.

I had one today and two more next weekend. Then that is it for the year.

I won't get any more requests because the gate closed on the tenth.

Meanwhile, I am glad to be finishing up.

It is always a surprise. Who will it be? What will be their story?

Today's interview was very good. I am getting end loaded with the better ones. Sorry to be so judgmental but it is difficult to work with a kid who really doesn't know how to work it. Passive. Or misinformed about the purpose of what we are doing.

I was surprised to learn today that Harvard does not do interviews in Riverside County. One has to go to San Diego. Quite a drive.

Actually, today's interviewee had to drive here from Imperial which is right over the Border. Two hours to PS. SD would be three.

But it is worth it, right? And I don't have to do it.

I cover a huge swath of real estate. Eastern Riverside and all of Imperial County. I could be bragging about the size but the fact is that almost all of that is open desert and mountains.

Oh. The photo is from my dorm, the Senior House. No seniors, actually. Decorated for Christmas way back when. Or, it could be, last week. It is still there as a dorm and looks exactly the same. The interiors were redone in the last few years.

Yes that is a tire swing in front. MIT.
