The reason i got in was def not the interview
but i hear georgetowns interview is more evaluative than other schools
bronze barn

wait gtown's interview is in-person?
bronze barn
wait gtown's interview is in-person?
pretty sure you can decide that
pulsar cloak
ah
spice fox
I always recommend in person if possible
Allows for more personal connection
Online interviews feel distant
steel vault
my girlfriend did hers online and mine was in person and we had the same interviewer
usually depends on the interviewer's availability
midnight ether
guys how long were your georgetown interviews
mine was supposed to be 30 min but it ended up being like an hour n a half-2 hoursish
but he told me that he didn’t receive any info about me, and tbh i didn’t end up talking a lot about myself (like my stats/ecs n stuff)
it felt a lot more like meeting a stranger & finding out about their lives than an interview very casual yk
nocturne tulip
do u have to give them ur resume or smth
personally i emailed mine beforehand
mine was about an hour and 5 and i was late because i went to the wrong house!
i was genuinely moritifed
spice fox
Yea its wild
dense yew
guys how long were your georgetown interviews
barely 15 mins
dense yew
do u have to give them ur resume or smth
no and you really shouldn't tbh
my interviewer asked me 2 questions and then talked abt himself the whole time
so
midnight ether
barely 15 mins
FIFTEEN?????
urban briar
Are Georgetown interviews normally over an hour, sometimes two hours long?
pulsar cloak
also how long after submitting did the school reach out to set up interviews
for ea people anyways
dense yew
FIFTEEN?????
if im beint generous
dense yew
also how long after submitting did the school reach out to set up interviews
few days
wait
do you mean the pre-app lr the full app
midnight ether
Are Georgetown interviews normally over an hour, sometimes two hours long?
depends on interviewer/how well you guys get along
dense yew
mine was sent out
midnight ether
also how long after submitting did the school reach out to set up interviews
i think when you create an acc they automatically assign an interviewer to u cuz my interviewer emailed me before i even submitted the app💀
midnight ether
but i think for interviews georgetown made it so that they’re conversational
like i was researching shit about gtown to answer questions i thought they were gonna ask but i did not need to do that💀💀💀
midnight ether
bro an hour before i met w him i sat myself at a cafe and memorized like
clubs i wanna join n stuff
dense yew
like philosphical, literal, favorite [blank] and so much other stuff
and he asked me 2 questions
i dont think you can generalize a good or bad interview
midnight ether
with different categories of questions
FR “so why do u wanna go to this school” “if u were a candy bar, what wld u be”
dense yew
FR “so why do u wanna go to this school” “if u were a candy bar, what wld u be”
yes and i got asked none of those 😭
midnight ether
my interviewer n i had a lot of the same interests so we just started conversations
or at least
dense yew
my interview was 15 mins, basically nothing of substance about myself, and my interviewer and i didnt click
and i got in
midnight ether
i acted very interested in his interests and said everything i knew about them***
dense yew
so if its good, thats great! if its bad, it probably wont make or break ur application
midnight ether
yea i think interviews r meant to help but rarely will they harm
spice fox
barely 15 mins
ayy twinsies mine was 15-20
spice fox
Are Georgetown interviews normally over an hour, sometimes two hours long?
technically supposed to be maximum 1 hour
expect it to be 30 mins - 1 hr
urban briar
Ok thanks
frozen pelican
imagine getting an interview lol
ahahhah same
does not having the interview rlly not put us in a disadvantage?
wispy cave
does not having the interview rlly not put us in a disadvantage?
i mean i didnt get in-
but i dont really think thats cuz of the lack of an interview
frozen pelican
0.0 gosh-
dense yew
does not having the interview rlly not put us in a disadvantage?
i think so
maybe not significantly but it is a required part of the application for a reason
if it was optional/informative, i would say no
the dean of admissions is an old fart who places emphasis on these things so
wispy cave
its required based on location and availability right
dense yew
of course
if you can't be interviewed you can't be interviewed but there's always zoom or something so (at least the way i see it) there really is no excuse to not have an interview
wispy cave
if you can't be interviewed you can't be interviewed but there's always zoom or ...
i didnt get a request for one
dense yew
what does your portal say
wispy cave
what does your portal say
nothing about an interview
wispy cave
wispy cave
no
dense yew
where do you live?
wispy cave
india
dense yew
i was gonna say there's only a handful of states in america that couldn't accomodate an interview
dense yew
that's true but they assign it based on region
so i got assigned an interviewer from the georgia alumni assosciation or whatever
i wouldn't worry about the interview
wispy cave
yeah fair enough
dense yew
they waive it if they don't offer it to you
wispy cave
my app sucked for other reasons LOL
dense yew
i doubt it
💯
at this point im convinced there's an element of randomness for all college apps
like if you take 10 deferred/rejected students from a top uni and 10 accepted the applications won't be significantly different imo
