One-day Trip to Washington DC -- Interview with Georgetown

If there is nothing out of my expectation, this is my last interview. From USC, UCLA, Kellogg, UT, and Georgetown, I think my performance must be improved. Ha-ha, actually I haven’t felt I performed badly in interviews. I don’t know why USC just gave me waitlist. On the day Hank got the admission and I didn’t, I was extremely depressed and cried and screamed almost the whole day. Maybe I am really not qualified…. I don’t know.

Georgetown Interview
The lady interviewed me is a second year student who concentrates in Strategy and has got an offer in Northwest Airline. I always make the interview very relaxed and like talks between friends, so there are no special problems I feel uncomfortable or difficult. Oh, she asked me about the strength and weakness. Haha, thanks to the UT interview, I answered it easily and naturally. I prepared this question for UT, but they didn’t ask me it. Mmm….Hard works will eventually work.

Actually, Georgetown will not be the place I wanna go. Maybe it’s due to my mood and condition. I tried to do the sight seeing to utilize the value of train tickets, so I walked around those historical spots. Therefore, when I headed to Georgetown, I was already very tired. In addition, I spent a lot of time to get a cab, and when I arrived there I couldn’t find any food to buy. It’s different with what I expected. I thought there must be some simple food I can grab so I felt very disappointing. The building of their business school is really not big, though it’s historic. B-school even need to share that building with other schools. Maybe it’s reasonable because their program is truly much smaller than others’. However, it still makes me feel bad. Ha-ha, it sounds all my complaints are related to the essential needs – food and space. Maybe those are low level considerations, but it will be important when that school are not really that top and attractive. I think Austin makes me feel better.
