My interview at Northwestern is coming up.
I haven't submitted my application yet - still working on personal statement, busy with work and life, etc. Does it matter whether I submit my application before or after the interview? Do they prefer that you submit your application before the interview?
also would it look bad to reschedule? interview is more than 2 weeks away so it wouldn't be a last minute change.
Thanks.

Re: should i submit my app before Northwestern interview?
I submitted mine before the interview, but my friend didn't. I think it's fine either way. In fact, I kind of wish I hadn't submitted mine beforehand since the interviewer offered to answer any questions about the application process, to which I was forced to reply, "Nah, I'm good. But thanks."getemgoon wrote:My interview at Northwestern is coming up.

Thanks.
And feel free to reschedule. Two weeks is plenty of notice. I doubt they'll even notice, TBH, since it's all scheduled electronically.

thanks for the reassurance. i wasn't sure whether they would ask questions from my application (along with the normal set of questions they ask, per another NU interview thread).

You could take along a copy of your resume just in case, but having the rest of the app in is entirely unnecessary. The interview stands alone as just another box to check to make your whole package complete.

Yeah, if other people are recommending taking a resume, definitely do. I didn't actually interview, so my advice on the interview itself is worthless. But I know about the app process.shntn wrote:Oh definitely bring a resume.rinkrat19 wrote:You could take along a copy of your resume just in case, but having the rest of the app in is entirely unnecessary.
