<p>I have my interview tomorrow afternoon at an alum's house. it was scheduled last week. after we agreed to a time, she did not reply to my email.</p>
<p>should i email her a small note tonight, basically saying "hi mrs.xxxxx, i am writing to tell you to expect me tomorrow at 3pm for the interview. i can't wait to meet you!"</p>
<p>will this come off as an insult? like i am trying to make sure she doesn't forget?</p>
<p>Personally, I’d skip the email. Chances are she didn’t/won’t forget and even if she did, that’s her problem and she’ll only be embarrassed. I don’t think the email’s necessarily.</p>
<p>No, I would not send an email. My Harvard interviewer and I had scheduled the interview over one week in advance without contact in between and we were both present at the scheduled time and location.</p>
<p>okay. good.</p>
<p>thanks guys!</p>
<p>I sent an email to my cornell interviewer. We arranged the time over a and a half before, so it was just a confirmation/reminder. IMO, It can’t hurt really. And after my interview, I followed up with a brief email mentioning what I learned/enjoyed through the experience and just thanking them.
It’s professional.</p>
<p>nah, forget it.</p>
<p>by the way, since it’s on a saturday afternoon, at her house, in a quiet little neighborhood…</p>
<p>is it okay to wear converses? 
(NICE and CLEAN pair of plain red converses)</p>
<p>i have other shoes, but they are too flashy. and i dislike dress shoes.</p>
<p>sure, but make sure your socks are clean and match in case she asks you to take your shoes off</p>
<p>BUT…do keep checking your OWN e-mail for HER to change.<br>
My own D (for another school) went back and forth with her interviewer for a few days, with the interviewer changing her time due to her schedule being in such flux. And her last change was LATE the night before the interview. Luck</p>

<p>Yes, I agree. But a friendly reminder may be warranted in some instances particularly if the location is far from one’s natural environment and a long gap has existed since previous communication. For an interview at an alumni/ae’s house, however, it would be best to skip it.</p>
