<p>So, Georgetown happens to be my first interview (I got deferred from Cornell with no interview), and I was wondering how I set this up? I got an e-mail with the name of my guy and stuff, so do I just e-mail him random dates, hoping that he will like them? Are there specific days I should choose? Also, what kind of questions do they ask? Sorry, I'm a bit worried because G-town is one of the only schools I didn't visit (my parents were too lazy to drive me down south), and I want to be prepared!</p>
<p>Also, my guy's name is George. I always have really bad jokes, and I am afraid that I will make one about his name being the first half of Georgetown!!!</p>
<p>Edit: Just found out he has been a lawyer for 17 years. So much for Georgetown.</p>
<p>You should contact him ASAP and introduce yourself to him. Tell him a little about yourself (not everything..save some stuff for the interview :) ) and ask him what dates would work for him. If you have dates in mind, suggest them (same goes for a meeting place). </p>
<p>In a later email, after he's confirmed a date and time, make sure you get his cell number (just in case you have an emergency and have to cancel) and make sure you describe your appearance to him.</p>
<p>As for questions, they ask the basic things like what types of extra curriculars, etc. My interviewer was big on "Why Georgetown" questions and what things match between Georgetown and your ideal education. So be afraid to ask him specific questions about his experiences or the school itself.</p>
<p>So..good luck and have fun. Relax and it should be a good experience. </p>
<p>I just had my interview last night and I thought it went really well (it was my second interview). Beforehand, I found out that my interviewer is a retired attorney and jumped to the conclusion that he would be old and no fun, but it was completely the opposite. He started off asking me about my family, then we talked some about my involvement in extracurriculars (it helps to bring a list of your activities; he asked questions while reading through mine). He also asked me about SAT, GPA, and the other colleges I've applied to. I answered truthfully about the colleges, but I wasn't expecting that question. I almost didn't want to say anything because I didn't want him to feel that Georgetown was a secondary choice for me (it's not). Then he allowed me to ask him a few questions, and I asked him about the Jesuit/Catholic tradition and its influence on his education, as well as a few other things. I could tell he loved to chat, so I let him tell me stories without interrupting. I enjoyed them anyway. He didn't once ask me up-front "Why Georgetown?" but I mentioned a few things here and there during the conversation. Overall, I thought the interview was very fair. He mostly asked questions about me, not Georgetown. I didn't visit the campus either, and was a bit concerned about what he would think about that, but he just mentioned that I should stop by because it's beautiful. It lasted about 50 minutes. </p>
<p>I'll really look forward to it if your description is right glock. I'm one of the few who hopes to have my opinion about colleges change from interviews.</p>
