<p>You are right.</p>
<p>Almost any interviewer would be pleased to meet your mother at the beginning or the end of the interview, and to answer any questions she might have about the college. But the interviewer wants to meet with you–away from your mom.</p>
<p>I no longer interview for my alma mater, but I used to. And I have seen other alumni interviewers on College Confidential say very much the same thing. </p>
<p>So, what do you do? I suggest you show your mother my response. Or maybe give it a day or two, see whether there are more responses, and then show her this thread.</p>
