Some compressed regurgitations of my essays for the Ivys
- Harvard University
- Performance/Outcome: Lasted around an hour and a half, really awesome conversation, my interviewer and I seemed to click

- Stanford University
- Performance/Outcome: Lasted around an hour, had a cool conversation and learned a lot about Stanford; I thought it went pretty well
- Duke University
- Performance/Outcome: Lasted a little over an hour, it was less about me and more about Duke, I thought my interviewer was pretty cool
