| Alumnus gave D condensed version....
This post could be very long...so I will try to condense. D received grey card from G-town with alumnus name/#., instructions to phone within 5 days to set up interview. D tried twice, left 2 messages.After one week (if you are unable to contact interviewer please advise the chairman)D does procrastinate on some things so I said by all means call. Chairman of the local committee said so and so was busy traveling ...but she was sure she would get with her. Finally the date is set...The Wednesday before the interview, alumnus calls the house in a panic..she was not sure if she had missed the interview the previous Sunday. Being the Mom I'am thinking ..oh my gosh..but the tone of the lady let me know that she thoght she had missed it.Key word SHE. She races thru her email..tells me to have D confirm for the next Sunday. Needless to say..D tried to phone/email/left messages...Never could get ahold of interviewer D plans to go to alumnus house without ever being able to talk to her..D thought they had already iced up appointment. Of course you know the rest...alumnus was not prepared because D did not confirm...gave D condensed version because she had a dinner party to attend. D was dropped off thinking interview would be an hour...or at least 30 minutes.. she got 20 minutes. Alumnus told her it was just a numbers game to get in and.....is this normal for interviews or just arrogance? D was disheartened ..this was her first interview. Oh..and since D had to wait on her ride ..alumnus had to leave for dinner party but she told D she had Spanish speaking help working on her house..that D could kill time by practicing her Spanish on the guys working on her house!
