I interview high school students applying to my alma mater and, in almost 10 years, ALL of them have been responsive and prompt (okay, one was late, but he apologized profusely). Now, I have one student who was supposed to come by on Wednesday night and she did not show up. I emailed her that night, just asking if she wanted to reschedule. She finally emailed me this morning with this message: "my bad! I got the days mixed up".
Sheesh! I am actually not even interviewing this season because I can't guarantee that I have one quiet hour per student! Someone at the admissions office has been giving out my name, so I have to, because I'm already the second or third alum that the student has contacted, so I do respond, and I'm happy to do so. BUT, surely she could have made her interview time!!!!!
