Today we’re highlighting an account of a Round 3 interview with a first-year student sent to us by a candidate for Georgetown / McDonough: “I was invited to interview for R3. Since I was going to be taking a day off to go to Washington D.C., I opted to sit in on a finance class. The student assigned to me was very helpful in giving me her insights on why she chose Georgetown over her other choices. My interview was with a first year student. Because Georgetown shares the interviewer’s name in advance, I was able to look him up and get insight on the student clubs he was involved in on campus. Interview lasted about 40 minutes.

Date/Admissions Round: February 14 / Round 2 Description of visit and/or interview atmosphere: Off-campus interview with an Admissions officer in New York City. We met in the (loud, dimly lit) lobby area of the W Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. The tone of the actual interview was very laidback, with successive questions building on my own responses. Type of interview (alum vs. adcom, blind vs. application-based): Admissions officer. Blind (and I’m pretty sure she had not reviewed my resume beforehand). List of interview questions:
Commentary (What did you think of the interview? What surprised you? What didn’t surprise you? What might you conclude about the school based on this experience?): I think this confirms my perception of Georgetown’s “vibe” – specifically that it looks for people who will fit into the collaborative ethos and mix in well with a diverse, global student body. We also spoke about the program’s upward momentum in the rankings and with recruiters. All in all, a pretty good conversation that confirmed my interest in the program.” Best of luck to everyone undergoing Round 2 interviews!
