<p>How am I supposed to distinguish who he is? Do I just yell?</p>
<p>My Vandy interviewer had a bright yellow Vanderbilt polo on (yellow is one of Vandy's colors). So maybe your interviewer is going to wear something similar.</p>
<p>Mine didn't. In fact none of mine wore school wear. A lot of mine did have notebooks and school items along with them, that made it somewhat easier to distinguish. It's easier when you get there. They will be looking for you too.</p>
<p>ask him what he will be wearing
usually they say so</p>
<p>or maybe he creeped your facebook and knows what you look like</p>
<p>How can you creep on facebook if you haven't friended that person yet? You can see a tiny picture, but you can barely see what the person looks like.</p>
<p>Generally, they will try to find the nicely dressed person who looks the age of going to college, so that should help. Unfortunately, my guy had a problem and couldn't come at the time, so I ended up asking every person in the place if they were the interviewer. It was kind of awkward when I asked someone with a Purdue sweatshirt on, and he started lecturing me as to why I shouldn't apply to G-town. Very awkward.</p>
<p>well it depends on privacy settings. and apparently adcoms have their ways...</p>
<p>Too bad information of myself is virtually nonexistent on the internet.</p>
<p>Should I shave?</p>
<p>well, i've always sat near the door. And usually, I checked their facebook. Surprisingly, most of them have one. lol</p>
<p>I got there a little bit early and sat down at a table. Even if they don't go up to you immediately, anyone who comes in by himself/herself and lingers is probably your interviewer. Notebooks and looking around are good tip-offs too.</p>
<p>When you get there, look around for people of your interviewer's gender/age who are by themselves, without a computer or other obviously engrossing activity. If you see somebody, approach them and ask if they are (name). If they aren't, or you don't see anybody, just sit down and wait, and when they arrive they should be able to recognize an interviewee.</p>
<p>Also you could tell them what you plan to wear or ask whether there's any way you will be able to recognize them, in your correspondence while setting up the interview.</p>
<p>I wore the shirt that the school sent me in the mail. :P</p>
<p>My interviewers gave or I asked for a description, and all of them had school materials with them. I also gave them my description. Some with established careers had pictures on their work websites.</p>
<p>Shave. Also, shower and brush your teeth. Worst case scenario, if you find yourself sitting at a table watching people come and go but unsure of who the interviewer is, you could always just write their name, or your name, on a piece of paper and put on the table in front of you.</p>

<p>LOL. :)</p>
<p>You forgot to say "don't wash your face with Clorox".</p>
<p>i was really nervous about this before my first interview, but when she walked in i immeadately knew. basically, just sit in a seat facing the door and make eye contact with everybody that walks in.youll be wearing nicer clothes then the average teen in a starbucks, and when you make eye contact theyll probably mouth your name... then stand up and shake their hand lol</p>
<p>Oh, don't always assume they will have stuff to write down on. My G-town interviewer came with nothing at all.</p>
<p>My MIT interviewer was sitting in the corner and scribbling furiously in a notebook (I assume she had just interviewed someone before me). I sat at a table nearby and made eye contact, and she asked, "are you <em>my name</em>?".</p>
<p>I thought it would be a problem too, but just look like you're looking for someone (does that make sense? IDK). It also helps if you buy a coffee, that way you can look around the room while you're waiting.</p>
<p>Also, she had an MIT baseball cap sitting on the table, so it was pretty obvious ;). If your interviewer didn't tell you what they look like or where they'll be, then they will most likely do something to make themselves stand out from the crowd. Most of them have been doing this for a while :).</p>
