Alumni Interview .

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University
1

<p>So like I finally got some kind of email from an alumnus that said...</p>

<p>Hi Lilmelonred,</p>

<p>My name is ....... and I'm a Cornell alumni in the area that
regularly meets with applicants. Though this is not a formal
interview, it is a chance to ask candid questions about social and
academic life at Cornell or to share things that may not have fit into
your application. I was a Physics and Astronomy in the College of
Arts and Sciences; I graduated in 2003..</p>

<p>Contact meetings last about an hour or so. I live off the ................and usually do these meetings at a coffee shop near me. I'm available most weekdays after 7pm in .....or possibly this coming Sunday (Feb 10). Meetings must be held by the 15th, though.</p>

<p>Please let me know if you would like to meet and what times/place are
good for you. We could also just talk over the phone, considering the weather this weekend</p>

<p>Looking forward to meeting you,</p>

<p>So like how should I respond back? I would like to do it on sunday or monday but i think his schedule doesn't really fit mine on the weekdays. Should I just do phone call? If this isn't a formal interview, whats the point of this? Will he/ she have to fill out a report for me as well?</p>

<p>You’re very privileged to receive such feedback from a great school… I’d assume that phone interviews are acceptable since it’s just an alumnus… Normal person, not a college admission officer hah</p>

<p>I emailed the interviewer but did not respond yet. Should I call?</p>

<p>I say you miss school or do whatever to make a solid impression if its your top choice. If its not number 1, do it over the phone.</p>

5

<p>Alright i’m still waiting for him/her to respond.</p>

<p>Would it be a good idea to give the interviewer my contact number too since he/ she gave me theirs? or I shouldn’t for privacy reasons? we are meeting up for the interview</p>
