His interview went for an hour and a half. I thought he was never going to emerge from his room. I think it went well. She wasn't a Brown undergrad, but is a current grad student from our area. In fact, she started her undergrad at one of the schools where he's been accepted and then transferred.

The whole process should be a drinking game for the parents... lol.
In general, Halo is much more outgoing and less shy than Hypo. Hypo does fine, but is more shy at first. Halo is just naturally glib and always has been. I don't think interviews will ever be nerve wracking for him.
Both of my kids approached the college brochures differently and it's really quite indicative of their personalities in general. Hypo saved every brochure and organized them into like and dislike piles but kept them ALL until she'd gotten all of her acceptances. Halo though- he had a system. If the letter was the standard format with an ID number in one corner, saying the same thing as the others, it got tossed. He is not a saver of fluff. He is practical. He saves money, but he carefully evaluates what else he saves! He has kept the information from the schools where he applied.
