When I informed the school that I wanted to do an interview with an alum in my country, they gave me back a whole list of alums in the SURROUNDING countries! Is this some kinda policy designed so that you won't get to interview with a person from the same country as you?
Nevertheless they told me if I can't arrange an interview within 2 weeks they will set up a phone interview for me.
If you guys were me would you fly over to meet an alum (closest country is a 2-hour flight), or would you opt for a phone interview???
