<p>I noticed there really wasn't a thread that described peoples experiences with the interviews... anyone care to share? doesn't matter if you were admitted or not... i just want to know what it was like... what did you wear as well?</p>
<p>Mine was excellent. I thought I recognized the name of the guy who interviewed me, but I couldn't figure it out. Here, his daughter went to my school, and we were both on the crew team (we only knew each other by name). Since our crew team is like a big family, it was extremely relaxed, and the humor in realizing we sort of "knew" each other was a good icebreaker. The interview went extremely well.</p>
<p>I applied RD, so I haven't heard my decision yet, but I already had my interview. It was the best one I've had out of all my school. I felt extremely relaxed with my interviewer and she seemed very interested in what I had to say. Her interests both academically and outside of school were extremely similar to mine (I have the same intended major as she had, she was on the crew team, etc.)</p>
<p>do they contact you if you get an interview or do you have to arrange one yourself?</p>
<p>I received an email not too long after I applied. Yours should be coming soon</p>
<p>A little awkward. We didn't really click; she went to College, I applied SFS, she's Catholic, I'm Jewish, she's pro-life, I'm pro-choice, she likes math, I'm humanities, she doesn't do music, I'm a violinist who loves it, she was into sports, I do newspaper. Basically....err. :|</p>
<p>idk if my experience was at all normal, but i got in and my interview was extraordinarily informal. we were talking about the best bars to go to in the area of georgetown by the end of the interview</p>
<p>hahah thats funny!</p>
<p>hahah ya i thought so too....i walked out and i was like that guy is about to give me either the best or worst report in history</p>
<p>i just had my interview about two weeks ago. my interviewer was a doctor, so i was at first intimidated because i thought he was gonna ask me specific questions about the school. (fyi, i don't know much about gtown) but he just asked me about myself.. like what school activities i participate in, my AP classes, research experience, what schools i've applied to for early action & decision, etc. i almost felt like he didn't want to ask me any questions about the school. i wore a black sweater, dark gray jeans, and uggs. just wear something nice i guess. </p>
<p>and ohz23, they contacted me by email about my interview.</p>
<p>My experience was pretty similar to yours, kace0619. I got contacted via email pretty quickly after I sent in my app, and found out that my interviewer was a retired attorney. That made me a little nervous, but he ended up asking me mostly about extracurriculars, APs, etc., and not about Georgetown, which I thought was true to the ultimate purpose of an interview - for the school to get to know the applicant, not how many random facts the applicant may know about the school. On the whole, the interview was very relaxed, and I thought the time flew by (it lasted 50 minutes). I wore a skirt, a decent shirt, and a sweater - nothing I wouldn't wear to school. I brought with me an activity list, and he asked me questions while going through that, so you might want to bring one as well. Good luck!</p>
<p>Mine is in two hours....eeeek!</p>
<p>What do you think is proper clothing for an interview at Starbucks? I'm a guy.</p>
<p>All I can say is my son's is in 45 minutes (after school) at her office. He wore a pair of chords and a nice shirt. Here's the thing... I would have preferred if he had worn dressier khakis and a nice shirt/sweater, but apparently that seems really dressed up to him and I figured he was nervous enough. I did however have him print off his resume (that he sent with his application that had all of his sports, awards and EC's) so he could remember his own life in the face of his nerves. It is his first official interview, but he is generally a likable guy. It all depends on what kind of woman she is.</p>
<p>mine went really well :) she was a very laid-back woman and we met in her office. we went over my resume together and she gave me insight into her undergraduate experience. it was quite pleasant</p>
<p>I got to the caf</p>
<p>Yeah, I am just worried since I have not actually visited G-town yet, but I have heard fantastic things about it from friends who have.</p>
<p>Son had interview yesterday (went to the interviewers office) and while it started a little slow, they ended up having a great deal to talk about and S thought it went very well. He came away from that meeting knowing exactly how she came to where she sits today -- which, when you get people to open up and talk alot about themselves, is a good thing. This way too, s was able to pinpoint where his interests might intersect with hers and/or expand on ideas. </p>
<p>Overall, he thought it went pretty well and gave him an opportunity to talk about his foreign travel and what it meant to him -- something that didn't get a lot of play in any other part of his application. Apparently she was very well traveled. Hopefully, that's a good thing.</p>
<p>Had mine today and it didn't go as well as I had planned.
My interviewer was kind of awkward. He was a little late, and so we didn't have a spot at the coffee shop we were in and had to find someplace new to hang out.</p>
<p>I had my interview today, although at first, my guy didn't show up due to family problems, and rescheduled later that day, but profusely apologized and ended up being extremely amicable. We spent just as much time talking about our common ground as we did colleges. He asked a series of questions leading up to the where did I apply question, and honestly, if I were an interviewer, I would ask that too, because I feel it is important to gouge interest. Overall, the guy taught me great things about G-town and really made me appreciate it much more. The interview was about 50 minutes long.</p>
