They want to interview me too.

WTF? I have a 168/3.9. Is it because I'm gay??? What on earth about my application could make them hesitate? I don't have any disciplinary records....great evaluations.... I'm at a loss.

I want them to want to interview me.

Don't think that's it.

agreed-my PS centered around being gay, and I have not been asked for an interview...although, there's prob. a high chance I'm going to be YP'd based on what I've been reading here...

Last year I thought they interviewed me (and some other applicants) just to see what type of applicants they were rejecting.

However, I do have a disciplinary record and a TTT GPA so that could explain things. Strong upward trend addressed by both my LOR writers, above-average PS, average DS and compelling GPA addendum.

greeeeat I hope that's not it. If i can't get into gtown I'm probably screwed as far as michigan and berkeley go....

Goddamnit, i want an interview. Are any of you who got asked to do one ED?

[T14Hopeful09]

Agreed. Definitely not YP material, but how are 172 2.7 and 168 2.3 even in the same category? Especially since I applied in Jan last cycle. I called GULC and they said they don't keep files after a cycle is over so they had no idea I interviewed last year and no longer have the summary of the interview that interviewer wrote up. I'm just annoyed by this whole process even though I should be extremely flattered T14s are even considering my TTT GPA. A 175 2.9 (rough stats of a few applicants they've already accepted) impacts median the same way my numbers do. I'm going to stop whinning.

They may just interview everyone under a certain GPA? I dont know. It sucks you have to again when you already did.

Not a GPA thing. My GPA was a 3.9 (summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa) and they still want me to interview. I have no idea how they decide who should interview...it kinda sucks.

My LSAT score wasn't amazing but not terrible either. It was fine for UVA so I would think it would be ok for gtown. But who knows.

yea AA male

Maybe it's an URM check?

[tintin]

not a urm, but like i said, gay and wrote my PS about it. seriously that is the only thing i can think that would make them want to interview me.....

Fabulous check?

[Torvon]

Oh crap, they check that? Is there any way to change your race on an already submitted application?

[T14Hopeful09]

lol not an URM check. But that would be funny.

well if they really wanna check they can send me a very attractive lesbian lawyer and i'll make sure they know how committed to my queerness i am....

Your kidding correct? You don't check any race on the georgetown app. You have to write a diversity statement.

actually i just had a horrible thought. what if they set me up with an interviewer who isn't gay-friendly???? that could really screw things up. i wonder if theres a way i can tactfully ask gtown to make sure my interviewer isn't homophobic??

I really think you are blowing it out of proportion.

Also, if they do discriminate based on your sexuality, why would you want to go there? (I am not assuming that they do, just basing my query on your concerns)

If GULC uses interviewers who are biased and hateful, you're better off not going there (we all are actually)

yeah, i am probably unnecessarily scared. but one homophobic interviewer doesn't mean the whole school is hahahah. but it could def affect an interviewer's perception of me.

anyways, only thing to do is charge ahead and see what happens!

[avacado111]

if you feel that the interviewer was a homophobe or made inappropriate comments... couldn't you just report it to admissions?
