Setting up an Interview-Help Appreciated!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Northwestern University

<p>Hey guys! I am currently a high school junior who has her heart set on attending Northwestern, whether it is the death of me. I probably browse the NU website more than I should on a daily basis. </p>

<p>Anyways, I have failed to come across any information regarding setting up an interview with a Northwestern alum. From what I have read, I know that the interview isn't a big shoe in to NU, but it can't hurt! I plan on applying ED, so I would maybe have to have my interview scheduled for this year. </p>

<p>How would I go about setting up this interview? And also, what should I expect? I know all of the basic questions colleges ask you in the interview process, but is there anything important I should know prior to the interview? </p>

<p>Thank you all so much. I appreciate it.</p>

<p>ED doesn’t usually have interviews and it’ll be a while before you can set that up… Right now they’re focusing on RD applicants for this year.</p>

<p>You may be able to get an alumni interview for ED depending on your location. I applied ED this year and contacted the alumni office over the summer to see if I could set one up - then a local alumni contacted me mid-September. The interview itself was pretty casual and the lady I talked to was very nice. :slight_smile: But yeah I would wait until at least the spring to look into it since they’ll be focused on current applications until then.</p>

<p>This might help too: <a href=“http://www.ugadm.northwestern.edu/alumni/visiting/interviews.htm[/url]”>http://www.ugadm.northwestern.edu/alumni/visiting/interviews.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
