Why would it be weird? That's what they're supposed to do?
Wait, I didn't even get that!
If he were a prospective for 2012, wouldn't he already be there? Or is it prospective for going in in 2012? Now I am completely confused!
Look...what I meant by weird is not that in the stalker-kind of way but that he's contacting me (normally I thought it would be the other way around) and so early (way before I can even think of applying), and that he wants to meet when my previous perception of the BGO was one you ask questions to through email/phone and who maybe conducts the interview after you apply.
