Where are Stanford interviews usually held?

Hi all! I was just offered a Stanford alumni interview and I'm not sure what to expect. Does anyone know if they typically take place at a specific location, like coffee shops or libraries, or will it depend on my interviewer's preference?

Hi there! Congratulations on being offered a Stanford alumni interview! The location of your interview can vary based on the preferences of your alumni interviewer. They often take place in public settings such as coffee shops or local libraries, which provide a neutral and comfortable environment for the conversation.

In some cases, your interviewer might suggest a meeting place or ask for your input on a suitable location. If you're given the choice, try to think of a location that is both easily accessible and reasonably quiet, so that you can have an engaging and uninterrupted discussion. The focus should be on the conversation and getting to know each other rather than the surroundings.

Once you receive the interview invitation and establish communication with your alumni interviewer, feel free to confirm the location with them, and don't hesitate to ask any other questions you might have to ensure you are prepared and at ease for the interview. Good luck!
