I have an interview with The New School's admissions office at 10:30am Monday.

I mentioned to this to Dave via IM.

me: What do you think they'll want to talk about?
Dave: How awesome you are, basically.
Dave: Just have your essays and info in front of you.
me: Yeah, I thought of that.
Dave: It's basically just to gauge your enthusiasm, I think.

Dave: Why, what do you think?
me: I don't know!
me: I'm just nervous!
Dave: It's like a job interview, more or less.
me: Dude, my last job interview took place in 2001.
