[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](NP) just want to say that my son's interviewer was very difficult to set up a meeting with. Wanted my son to get downtown (from N Bethesda area) in the middle of a school day so they could interview during alumnae's lunch hour. then told him to call at 10:00 a.m. the day of interview to confirm - so my son left class to make the call. Call was not answered. Several calls not answered or returned. Alum then was pissed that my son did not come for interview as scheduled. My kid was beyond stressed at this point. Interviewer continued to evade calls and emails so interview was delayed by another week. My kid was a mess, chasing after this person like a junkie looking for a fix.  Very stressful and demeaning. 
When they finally did meet it did not go well - by this time my son felt he was in a week position which was probably true. He did not get into Georgetown. I was a tiny bit relieved to be honest. Terrible experience. Hopefully NOT typical.[/quote]

Ugh, that's awful. [/quote]

It was awful. I have no idea how the interview impacts admission, very curious about this also.  I am hoping someone comes forward on here to tell about a more positive experience. In a couple of years I will have another child applying.  Fingers crossed ... [/quote]

You're kidding, right? Fingers crossed? I would have called up Georgetown, described the whole stressful experience, describe how it wasn't going well and asked for another interviewer.

The school most likely doesn't know that the guys a jerk.

My interviewer was similar - also no personality, a bitter man who could have cared less. You wonder what the school is thinking having these people be the 'face of the school'.

I wish that I would have asked for my application fee back![/quote]

Fingers crossed because for my younger child it is his DREAM to go to Georgetown. Since early elementary school, he has been planning on this!  He is an extremely focused and driven kid.  Georgetown will not be a reach for him. To be honest I am not a fan of the elitist environment and the extremely arrogant alumnae that we have been acquainted with over the year. Including of course the interviewer.  But I cannot control my son's goals, and this one is a BIG one. I love my son more than i dislike the Georgetown culture. [/quote]
