<p>I recently received an email from a WUSTL alum who said she was assigned to interview me (I also recently submitted my application). She studied my major at WashU, and I am excited that I get the opportunity to speak with her, but is it common for WashU to email you about an interview before you request one? Their website just has a number that you can call to request an off-campus interview, but it doesn't say anything about an alum automatically contacting you once you apply. I want to make sure that there hasn't been a mistake in this process or something.</p>
<p>Happened to me too. Never requested, but got one.</p>
<p>Note: I found out about my interview months after it was supposed to happen. Some woman left a voicemail on my home machine, and I didn’t listen to it until 5 months later (no one ever checked that thing)… after I had already been accepted. Whoops. </p>
<p>(aka I never actually interviewed)</p>
