<p>Hello, I just got my email from my interviewer who is class of '09 - so I'm expecting somebody who is 22-24 yr old. </p>
<p>Just wondering but, is this normal? Does anybody else have a young interviewer?</p>
<p>My D had a VERY recent graduate for Georgetown. I think it’s a plus for you. You don’t risk old, gruff, set in their ways types like I saw at a recent “Other-Ivy” function. I’D be scared to be interviewed by this person…and I’m 50 years old! I think they’ll relate better, the conversation will be easier, they’ll expect something different from you (not be quite as offended if you lapse into Text-Speak, etc.). Good luck.</p>
<p>my interviewer back in the day was 23, it was awesome, he was really enthusiastic, professional, friendly, consider yourself lucky.</p>
<p>Mine is in his 50s.</p>
<p>I always get the old guys. 
I wanted somebody in their 20s because I think we would have more in common.</p>
<p>My interviewer was a Class of '09 (CC) as well. Expect a 21-23 year old. It is nice to have a young interviewer because it takes less to impress them and they can relate easily.</p>
<p>my Harvard one was class of '09 as well. it was good because he knew what it was like at Harvard RIGHT NOW</p>
<p>thanks all of you, i was just surprised because i never heard of an interviewer being so young, but as it turns out more and more Unis have decided that younger interviewers would be better — </p>
<p>dreaming92, how was your interview with Harvard?</p>
<p>My interviewer was a bit older. It slipped my mind to ask him what class he was, but we spent much of our interview discussing a lot of great jazz/popular music from the 70s, so he probably went to Columbia in the 80s or so. I’ll need to ask him to be sure, but I’m glad I had him as an interviewer. I think whether young or old, we would’ve established common ground, but it was really interesting learning about Columbia from a different perspective.</p>
<p>Cities and music, pretty much. My hope is that all of my interviewers are at least somewhat interested in those. Which are pretty common interests I think, especially at city schools.</p>
<p>Barty, it went very well, thanks :)</p>
