<p>I recently received the name/contact info for alumni interviews for 2 different schools I am applying but I am unsure about what to say in my initial emails to them. Do I just ask them when they are available to meet? Help!</p>
<p>Your interview has already begun! How promptly you respond to your notification shows your level of interest. You need to take initiative and send an email/call to schedule the interview. Send a brief email saying you’ve been asked to contact the alumnus/ae and would like to set up an appointment. Ask what is convenient for his/her schedule, or suggest 2-3 times/dates. The interviewer will suggest a place (starbucks, their office or home.).</p>
