Hi all,
I received an interview invitation to one of my top choices, but after receiving the interview schedule, I realized that I will not be interviewing with my main POI in the program. I'm primarily interested in the program because of this POI. Moreover, the professors that I am interviewing with specialize in topics that I have no experience nor particular interest in.
Has anyone else had this experience? Should I email the POI, even though I haven't had any prior contact with him? If so, what do I say in this email? I don't want to sound whiny or unappreciative, because I am still very excited for this interview opportunity.
Thanks for your input!

So do you guys think that MIT BCS is done sending out invites? I'm thinking that it may be better to accept rejection than hold on to false hope
Not interviewing with POI?

I didn't receive any explanation about why these particular interviewers were chosen, so I hope that they are on the admissions committee, and not necessarily the people that I would be potentially work with. I actually did request to interview with my POI before the interview schedules were made.
I will try to get either an in-person or a Skype meeting with the POI as nevermind suggested.
Thanks a lot!
