u/No-Interview-7626

Using a throwaway for anonymity. Georgetown was my absolute top choice, but I just had an alum interview that was so profoundly disrespectful it makes me not even want to apply.
The interviewer (a practicing lawyer) was unprofessional from start to finish. He admitted he previously got in trouble for asking applicants for standardized test scores, but then immediately asked if he would be "happy or sad" to hear my score.
When I mentioned a second cousin went to Georgetown, he weirdly insisted I get a letter of recommendation from her.
He called my three years of STEM dual-enrollment classes "pointless" and told me I was "trying too hard in high school."
He made multiple comments that I would probably
"enjoy shopping at Georgetown," which felt explicitly gendered and condescending. Sorry to be the one friend that's too woke, but that's completely how it sounded. When I explained that I want to study my major to pursue law school and go into a specific field, he completely berated me. He repeatedly called the plan "beyond stupid" and told me I was flat-out wrong, despite knowing nothing else about me. He said going to law school was the worst mistake he ever made and that I was "interesting without it" and it would dilute everything about me. Mind you, I’ve been a legislative intern in the super specific niche. I would hope I know the degrees necessary to get into that niche, and he repeatedly told me I could “go without it” and just get and undergrad degree.
He spent the time sharing stories about past applicants (in a super rude way, calling them “farm kids” and stuff like that) and telling me to reconsider my application because certain schools there are too hard to get into. He didn't ask a single meaningful question to actually get to know me.
I understand tough interviewing to see how an applicant thinks, but this crossed the line into personal degradation. I am honestly heartbroken. Is this normal for Georgetown alumni interviews? I don't even want to apply anymore. I feel like shit.
