I am at risk of going insane ... my girlfriend yesterday stated that I have gone through 14 bouts of mania since the interview. I am not sure that SHE can survive until May 15th I forced her to watch several classic episodes of Trauma Life in the ER on Saturday night ... LOL.

I am so nervous I was going through the stations in my head and realized that at one acting station when I went in I barely even said hi to the examiner who technically was supposed to just be an observer. I think I said hi but didn't shake hands or say my name. Face palm

I believe you are supposed to ignore the examiner completely in an actor station, although I might be wrong about this.

Oh, really? Wow! Well she didn't greet me either like the rest of the interviewers, just looked up and was busy writing something so I just gave a terrified smile and said a weak hi. I just hope I didn't come across as rude!

Recently, I realized I didn't shake hands with the panel when I left.

Of course, it would have been better to shake hands, but if the rest of your interview went well I doubt failing to shake hands could overshadow how you came off as a candidate for the majority of your interview. There are more important things the panel must be considering.

It's hard not to worry about this stuff, I know! But there's nothing you can do now, and I don't think one small slip-up such as this would eclipse an otherwise good impression. Hope it works out for you!

maybe instead of obsessing over the tiny details which will only make us all more anxious, lets instead talk about the great things that we didn't do during the interview.

for example, i'm pretty happy i didn't vomit on myself, another interviewer or any examiner.
i am also pretty proud that I didn't burst into hysterical laughter when they asked a hard question and I'm glad I didn't respond to any MMI question with a 'well damn, if I knew that we wouldn't be here right!'
