<p>I know it’s a bit earlier to bring up this question, but I heard a lot of my friends who applied to georgetown complain school sent them interviewers who didn’t go to the same college as the ones they applied to. So then it turned to be really awkward in the interview, an SFS applicant had nothing to talk about with an alum who graduated from NHS.
How does gtown assign alum to interviwee? Is it mostly due to the geographic reason?</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s basically by geographic location (I could walk to my interviewer’s house in <5 minutes, although we held it at a different location). I think my interviewer was from the college, like me, but he studied in an entirely different discipline. I’m not 100% sure of the specifics, but I think there’s an area coordinator who assigns local interviewers to applicants. I imagine some area coordinators take into account field of study, but I imagine most just do it by geographic area.</p>
<p>Interviews are done by geographic area - my interviewer didn’t even go to georgetown undergrad, he was a grad student there in the 70s … this initially made me nervous but we ended up getting along really well and still exchange emails - the bottom line is that if they love the school, regardless of differences, passions are universal - though it can be difficult if you have questions for them</p>
<p>interviews are based on location, as everyone else has already said. my georgetown interview was done by a graduate of the College, but i applied to the MSB. it didn’t seem to hinder the conversation at all, and actually makes it easier to talk because we could both talk about our own individual interests, and find connections that way.</p>
