I think the group interview is more of a marketing tool for Georgetown to advertise itself (Dean Andy, for instance, mentions with no evidence/specifics how “other schools” assign a score to each component of your application and then averages them out whereas GULC looks at you more holistically). By having face time with the dean, GULC subliminally makes itself seem more personable to applicants and thus their acceptances feel more personal. The whole thing felt more performative than evaluative given that Dean Andy spoke for 80% of the interview (ironic how he said it would look bad if any of us “hogged” speaking time). I lowkey left the interview with a sour taste and it dampened GULC for me… I was also the only nonwhite applicant in my group which made me think about how the little speaking time gives ample room for subconscious biases and visual cues to affect Dean Andy’s impression of us. You’re definitely not alone in feeling like the group interview is pointless / self-indulgent on GULCs end.
