Have many of you had an admissions interview? We have tried to schedule one for the past week but are not getting a response.
I did an interview about a month ago. The alumna I interviewed with was very responsive, and we met three days after I requested an interview. Are you going through the website? Vanderbilt does not do interviews with admissions staff, just with alumni.
My D is an alumni interviewer, and she communicates directly with the students who are assigned to her. Here is information about the interview program: https://admissions.vanderbilt.edu/alumni/interview-program.php .
Had to request 3 interviews and my third interviewer hasn’t responded in 10 days so I’ve accepted that I won’t be able to interview. I just hope admissions will see my interest through my request history and maybe that could help a bit?
Interviews are not necessary, so don’t worry if you can’t interview. My D did not interview when she was in high school, and she got in. She does interviews now because she wants to give back to the school, but also because she knows it is helpful to students to be able to ask questions of the interviewer.
Yes I heard the request history stays in your file. @edc123
Good to know that other applicants have not had success getting response from interview request I guess.
