"My U Chicago interviewer didn't show today."
Earlier this this year, there were posts about two similar sounding experiences with interviewers from different colleges.
In one case, the student was supposed to meet the interviewer at a Starbucks, but there were 2 Starbucks in close proximity, and the student went to the wrong one.
In another case, the student was supposed to meet the interviewer in a coffee shop. The student got there early, and sat there reading a book. The interviewer came on time, looked around, saw no one who appeared to be waiting for her (e.g. if you're waiting for the interviewer, look around. Don't stick your head in a book like you're simply studying), so the interviewer went outside to wait, waited a long time and then left.
Clearly, the lessons are: Be very clear about the meeting place, even get the interviewer's cell phone # and give them yours just in case. And certainly, be active about finding the interviewer.
