Do they do skype interviews? I don't live near any major or secondary legal markets. NW doesn't offer in-person interviews within a radius of several hours of where I live either.

From what I'm hearing, they set up alumni interview where possible. They will locate an alumni in your geographic area if possible for interview.

Went complete today

When did you submit?

Saturday night

Does that mean I'm not gonna be interviewed?

Definitely not - I think its typically two weeks btwn complete and interview requested

Ok thank you!

Yep- they do. Did mine through Skype on Monday of last week. Hoping to hear back soon.

Does anyone know if Gtown sends you an email as soon as your status updates from completed to either interview requested or decision?

I was accepted last week and my application checker status is still at "application completed." I got an email when they offered me the interview but I didn't get an email when they made a decision

[sbenj]

Do you know what they base the interview requests off of?

[Applicant12]

Has anyone been asked to interview after already being "completed"?

[kangaroo430]

How do I know the date that I went complete? My status is completed for now, but I do not actually know when my profile was marked complete by Gtown.. Submitted on 11/6 though

I don't think there's any way to tell, I submitted last Thursday and no idea when I went complete. Upon reading the status checker email more closely, they don't update status beyond complete, etc. "Once the status check page indicates that an application is complete, it will not update again, even once a decision is made."

I have an alumni interview scheduled for tomorrow. Can anyone who's been through the process give me some advice on what to expect/questions I should be prepared for? Thanks.

[redsxfan2010]

Has anyone had a group interview? Absolutely no idea what to expect from that...

I think there are only a few mandatory questions. My conversation was super casual and a lot of it was my alumnus telling me about how he got to Georgetown and what he experienced there. He seemed like a really cool guy.

After having done only two interviews so far, I can tell you to expect "Why Law?" Or "Why this school?". Aside from those, my interviews have felt more like conversations to be honest. In my GULC interview my interviewer went through my resume a bit to ask questions about a few things he thought were interesting.

Good luck and don't stress

Check this from above:

As for what happens, the group interview isn't your typical interview. It's activity based. Just go in prepared to work well on a team and you'll be fine.

In!!!!
Submitted 10/26, Complete 10/30, Letter postmarked 11/9 (just got here to the other side of the planet today...)

Since the beginning of my law school considerations, GTown was always at/near the top of my list - so I'm super hyped! Also my first T14, which feels pretty great.

Got the letter about five minutes before a skype interview with another school significantly lower on my list... it took a bit of effort not to blow it off entirely.

Congrats!!! Has anyone else heard today/this week?

Wow, my apologies for completely missing that.

Sounds interesting enough as far as an interview style?

So is there no need to prepare answers to typical interview questions - Why Law, Why X School, etc.?

You couldn't prepare if you wanted to.

It's honestly a pretty fun interview.

Although, if you think about it, isn't the whole law school application/admissions process just two tons of fun as a whole?

[kjm1992]

I did alumni interview and it was just a casual conversation. I think he really only asked me like one actual question haha
