[quote=Anonymous]I find No. 15 interesting: "15. On interviews. We take on-campus interviews (admission officers, senior students) and those from very recent graduates more seriously than alumni interviews. If you are not seen as a good fit for the school based on an interview by a current student, recent graduate, or an admissions officer, your chances will be noticeably hurt; this is not really the case for alumni interviews. Our institution has changed over the last few years; we want to bring in students who will thrive in the community that is present, and the first group is a better judge of those (they are also trained to be impartial; we can't really host training for alumni). Few students have an interview that is so strong that it will noticeably help them for admissions." What do you mean about your institution changing over the last few years? I can't think of a top college that has changed that much in the last few years that the experience of alums who graduated in, say, 2000, are no longer relevant? Or am I out of the loop? I ask because I used to do alumni interviewing and the school keeps asking me to volunteer again (I stopped due to a combination of time scarcity and the feeling that the interviews were a waste of time as no one I interviewed ever got accepted).
