Do you think I failed my college interview?

I just did a college interview and I feel like I failed it. It was supposed to last like 20 minutes but only lasted like 6-10 minutes (Probably 6 minutes (T-T)). I asked my friend and she said that hers lasted about 20-30 minutes. I answered all the questions a bit vaguely as all I want to say is already in my personal statement and I didn't ask about anything at the end of the interview. What do you guys think?

Short interviews are rarely a good sign, I'm afraid. Six minutes is very short, especially if others are lasting 20 - 30 minutes. :frown:

I was really nervous about the interview but she looked quite happy when I was with her so I don't really know

Then they cannot use an interview as part of the selection - it's just to gather information.

False alarm. My friends interview was about 10 minutes. No need to worry about it now:smile:
