Alumni Interviews

All first-year applicants, including international applicants, are required to have an interview with an alumnus as part of the admissions process unless it is geographically impossible. Interviews for transfer students are optional. No interviews are available for Special Student Applicants.

Please note that no interviews take place here on campus and we do not ask (or expect) students to travel to other cities/countries for the interview. If you live in a city/country where no alumni interviewers are available, the interview will be waived. Rest assured that in such situations, the lack of an interview will not negatively impact the final decisions rendered on applications.

The Georgetown University Alumni Admissions Program (AAP) is responsible for interviewing all undergraduate applicants to Georgetown. The interview will be conducted by a member of one of the Alumni Admissions Program committees, which are located in all fifty states and in many foreign countries. Once your application is received, the Admissions Office will provide you with contact information for an alumni interviewer in your area. You are expected to make arrangements for that interview.

The interview provides you with an opportunity to highlight particular aspects of your background and achievements which you would like to call to the attention of the Admissions Committee, as well as to learn more about the University from the point of view of the local alumnus.
