<p>What is the latest that one can conduct an alumni interview? I filled out the request form on January 26 (yes, I know it is very late), and I was wondering if it is too late to even be considered for an interview. I live in Charlotte, NC. Also, besides doing interviews and visiting campus, is there any other way to demonstrate interest in a school?
Thanks</p>
<p>You could change your posting name at CC from “Tarheel” to “GoCATS”…</p>
<p>And you could actually answer my question instead of making pointless comments. My dad went to UNC and I follow their basketball team; what of it? I made this account a while ago, before I knew that I would apply to NU. So please just answer my question, or go bug someone else</p>
<p>The director of my area (Los Angeles) wants all completed interview forms due by the 31st. Needless to say, you’d have to have a very generous/kind alumni coordinator to let you have an interview this late. </p>
<p>Sorry Tarheel - I should have put that smiley face up after my post! I really do understand the pressure you are going through since I had 2 kids admitted to NU - but at NU the interview is not an important part of admissions. I have 1 kid admitted ED, and one RD, and neither interviewed. </p>
<p>@nugraddad, its cool, sorry I overreacted. Congrats on having 2 kids accepted in such a great school, you should be super proud. I realize that interviews are not super important, but I’d still like one, at least to show demonstrated interest, which i’ve heard that NU does keep track of. Also, seeing as you’re a dad and not a student, would you mind reading one or more of my essays that I’ve submitted? I’d really appreciate any feedback, provided that you don’t share it online.</p>
<p>Tarheel- I don’t have a very good track record at reading / feedbacking essays. My D wrote and submitted hers and I didn’t read it until after she got in. I read my son’s, but I didn’t like it - so I suggested he re-write it. He didn’t - and it was obviously good enough to get in. </p>
<p>IMHO your best bet is to have your English comp teacher, or someone local do a read. Good Luck! Just keep in mind that getting into NU, or any top school is not only grades and scores, but also a little bit of luck. </p>
