What to expect from alumni interview?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University
1

<p>Ok, so an alum called me the other day and asked if I was available for an interview on Monday.</p>

<p>I heard it was not bad, and the lady on the phone said it wouldn't take longer than 20 minutes and not to dress up. </p>

<p>But what will she want to know? What does "just informational" mean? </p>

<p>What kind of questions did you ask?...cause I look at CC, I know a lot about my colleges from reading all of the different school forums. </p>

<p>I know I could make something up, but I don't want to sound like an idiot because most of the questions I had while doing research on schools were answered from the internet. </p>

<p>Any other tips? She said don't dress up, but I was going to wear nice khakis and a polo, tucked in. Too much?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>no need to dress up</p>

<h2>here is what I posted for someone else</h2>

<p>no big deal. it’s an information type of thing, where you can get and ask info regarding the University. no need to be nervous or anything like that. They will file a report, but it basically means very little, if anything. Many people get in without being offered one or even declining the interview. Don’t sweat it.</p>

<p>Ok thanks. Yeah I saw that when looking through other threads haha. </p>

<p>Ok, thanks, guess I shouldn’t really worry. I have a pretty good reason for applying to Cornell and I’m going to ask about the dorms, cars on campus, greek life and some stuff like that. </p>

<p>Thanks again.</p>
