<p>Before I buy a plane ticket, does anyone have more details on this?</p>
<p>I know the interview is informative, but is this an opportunity to show how interested you are in the school?</p>

<p>Its not on the JHU master calender? Google pulls up nothing? Anybody?</p>
<p>Sorry.. I've never heard of this "Interview Weekend". You'll have to wait for AdmissionsDaniel to respond. As for interviews, they're officially informative, but your interviewer (who's a student) fills out some sort of short summary/comments about the interview and that goes in your application (from what Daniel said here</a>)</p>
<p>It only came in on a week's notice, I cant imagine they sent that to ~15,000 people and expect them to come? I already got the flights, I'm going to call them tomorrow.</p>
<p>Nothing about the email looked like a hoax. Anyways, its an oppurtunity to go home at best.</p>
<p>sidenote: I so should have put "born at JHH" on my app lol</p>
<p>I got the email too. It seems legit. But since the event is in B-more and it is this weekend, I figured they would only invite kids within a decent driving distance. I live in VA and I am only an hour and half away so transportation is not an issue</p>
<p>I live about 26 hours away</p>
<p>Corrob.. you got an email about it?</p>
<p>I do live pretty much on campus, so it definitely looks like something locals were invited to. Corroborator's responce is an opportunity to disprove this theory, so we'll see what he says.</p>
<p>Regardless, who all is going from CC?</p>
<p>And the real question - do we get to meet
wait for it
admissionsDaniel!?</p>
<p>There is a Baltimore interview weekend this coming weekend on the Hopkins campus, but from what I know about it, it is an opportunity for students in the local area who would like to have a one-on-one conversation with an alumni of Hopkins.</p>
<p>As with all of our interviews, they are not required and they are informational.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I am not involved with this program so I can't really answer many of the questions. My suggestion is to call the Admissions Office ASAP at 410-516-8171 and ask to speak with the coordinator of the alumni interview program.</p>
<p>I got the email about the weekend yesterday. I think I'm going to go.</p>
<p>great, does anyone know if its an opportunity to see around the campus?</p>
<p>I didn't get an email about it</p>
<p>I have a friend who lives in the baltimoron suburbs who didn't recieve the email? Is there a filter other than location for this event?</p>
<p>I talked to Ms. Brokl, you can tour, interview, talk to students, etc...sounds like a great opportunity</p>
<p>Did anyone go to this thing? I was going to go toady (Sunday) but I got snowed in. :(</p>
<p>My son and husband went. They met some people who had flown in from Houston, so I'm not sure how regional it was. Apparently there was a second event like this one last week in California. My husband was told that the invitations went out to kids they wanted to get to know a little better.(Son is homeschooled with lopsided scores and quirky interests...I imagine he can't be a simple evaluation:)) Despite the snow, both son and DH came home in love with the university.</p>
<p>that would make sense, I went from a 2.5 to a 3.5 (drastic change)...also a URM with many ties to the school of medicine, so I'm defininently an odd applicant.</p>
<p>i went to the california one. i was contacted super last minute, as in the day before.</p>
