Sorry to hear that man, you've been very helpful on this forum. Good luck at Fuqua!
Cheetarah: Thanks for that detailed report, I would expect nothing less of you.
Everyone: So it turns out that I'm having my alumni interview over dinner at some restaurant. Is this normal? I actually think it could be beneficial in a way since I have had job interviews in this setting that went really well. Something about the ambiance that helps to break the ice I guess. But still, it does seem a little unusual for a business school interview and does bring up some questions - should I be in a suit? Should I offer to or insist on paying the bill? Decline any offer of alcohol?
Thoughts?
During my interview I offered to pay the bill. My interviewer said they had the rule of paying half of the check ALWAYS. So I ended up paying for my bottle of water, while my interviewer payed for his coke.
I would definitely decline any offer of alcohol.
I belive you should consider this similar to a job interview.
Once you get accepted you can invite him to celebrate for a beer.
