During the interview, I was nervous because I had to wait outside until someone came to let me in.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: She let in me.
Say: She let me in.
With a pronoun, the object goes in the middle — 'let me in', not 'let in me'.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'Let in' is the everyday verb for allowing entry. 'Permit me to enter' is absurdly formal.
