<p>I contacted my interviewer by email about 2 weeks ago requesting an interview. I haven't gotten a response yet and I am in a bind about whether to send a follow up email or to contact the university directly. Anyone have an ideas?</p>
<p>That is a tough situation. I don’t think contacting the university would help as much as emailing the interviewer again. Maybe wait another week and then email. Interviews usually have to be done by the end of february, so there’s still time left</p>
<p>If you have your interviewer’s name and have heard nothing in two weeks since you reached out, I would not hesitate to send another email (if your contact was by email). Nothing pushy; just something in the form of a “just following up”. You can always couch your decision to follow up as being motivated by your sincere interest in the school. No one should be remotely offended by that. I interview for another school, and I would regard it only in positive terms.</p>
<p>Should I ask them whether they had received my last email or something along those lines? I’m just kind of in a bind of what to ask them because as you said, I don’t want to sound pushy at all…</p>
<p>As WCASParent said, let them know you’re following up to an email sent a couple of weeks ago and are sincerely interested in Northwestern, blah, blah, blah, their busy schedule, blah, blah, appreciate if they could suggest at time, blah, blah…</p>
<p>You get the idea.</p>
<p>Bosoxfan, I had the same problem although when i signed up to interview at Northwestern, it told me to call my interviewer on Jan 20 at a certain time. I called twice that day, left a message, didn’t get a response. And then left another message a few days later. I don’t know what else I can to do besides call admissions.</p>
<p>My son contacted the interviewer weeks ago. It took a while for him to hear back. They scheduled an interviewer, which the interview canceled. Rescheduled another one, again interviewer canceled. Rescheduled again for another date, he was told to call the day before to pick a time. He did, no answer. He sent a text message, no answer. Called again the next day, no answer. Went to the meeting place for the interview and called again to say he’d wait there for a half hour. No show, no answer. So he came home. Now what? Does he forget it? Call the admissions office?</p>
<p>kobrex, i’m in a similar situation. I chose to email the admissions office. If I don’t hear back from admissions until mid-February, I’ll probably give them a call.</p>
<p>I don’t understand why some people with no time would volunteer to be interviewers. I remember when I visited CMU, my host went off to play softball and left me wandering around the campus on my own. Some people are too eager to serve their schools and then when the time comes, they regret making the commitment and some of them have decided that avoidance would be the best way to deal with the situation.</p>
<p>^^ That was really awful and rude. I’m sorry you had to go through that kind of experience. People need to realize once you sign up for something, you’ve made a commitment. My NU interviewer was really nice and went out of her way to answer my questions.</p>
<p>Seeplymouth, I wouldn’t wait any longer. I hope you’ve called them already. To make a long story short, my son did have his interview (it was a phone interview, which he felt went well) and said she was sending the report in asap, that it was due in a couple days later. So, I think they’ve stopped interviewing already.
I’m curious to know how it went for you. Did you have your interview in time?</p>
