[quote=Anonymous]GU alum interviews aren't like other schools. It is actually part of admissions but DO NOT STRESS.

It's just different. Like how GU doesn't use Common App and requires scores. It's trying to focus on applicants who've actually done some homework on the school and aren't going on reputation as a "good school."

GU is kind of small with niche undergraduate programs. It can't be all things to all people, so there's no benefit to the school or applicants to wade through artificially generated traffic from test optional policies and Common App.

If she has a good interviewer, it's an opportunity for your daughter to show why she thinks GU might be good for her. She doesn't need to prove that she's good enough for Georgetown.

It's her time to show some of the things that are important to her that she may not have squeezed into her essay.

Are there specific subjects or programs she feels were made for her?

Is she interested in a newer program or an established one?

Are there student groups or communities at GU she's drawn to?

No school is perfect, what are some challenges or concerns she thinks she might face?

For alum questions, please don't ask the open-ended generic ones like "why did you pick Georgetown?"

It's ok to Google the interviewer and ask "how did GU prepare you for xyz in your linked in profile." Or ask their opinion about something you saw in The Hoya. Just make sure it's genuine and not just trying to fill space. 30-45 minutes is not a lot of time. [/quote]
