Interviews?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>In the flurry of getting applications out on time... I think I may have overlooked the detail about Cornell offering interviews. I didn't sign up for one or anything, and the website has only registered Part I of the app, (much like everyone else.) </p>

<p>So... I was a little put-off, yet excited, to receive a call this evening from an alumnae to schedule a meeting with me (he never actually said interview.) I said that I would call back tomorrow, and I think that I may call Cornell first to make sure it's legit. </p>

<p>But before I do that, has anyone else recieved a call? I know I'm a little paranoid, but I can't help it. </p>

<p>Thanks so much in advance,

<p>Whatever you do, don't use the term "alumnae" to describe him during the interview.</p>

<p>i didnt sign up for an interview anywhere. although you must for an on campus interview. a local alunmus convieniently called me up one day to see if i was interested. i said yes, and had the interview. my interview (it was really just me asking about the college life) turned out really good because my alumnus graduated from the same field. i personally attribute 40% of my acceptance credit to the alumnus.</p>

<p>Are you saying not to refer to him as an "alumnae" because I should have used the singular "alumnus?" Or did you mean something else??</p>

<p>But when/if I do have the interview, I'll make it a point to ask about his connection with the school.</p>

<p>"Alumnae" is the plural for female graduates. Who knows? He might take it the wrong way...</p>

<p>But yeah, for my interview (which was entirely by phone, though), he just called. I don't recall hearing anything from Cornell about him. Now that I think about it, maybe he was just pretending...</p>
