How soon after applying do applicants get an interview?

Early or regular?

Interviews don't matter anymore; they are simply a way of keeping alumni 'connected'. Harvard revealed during disclosure they simply threw away all Asian kids interview scores to boost athletes and legacies.

I'm an alum who has conducted multiple interviews. I don't think they matter at all.

My DH does these. Where they matter is screening Varsity Blues issues (not perfect, but an easy check).

How would they do this? The websites says:

It is important for you to know our alumni interviewers do not have access to your application – they only have your name, your contact information and the name of your high school.

It's an interview. If you say you're an olympic level rower and only have a picture to show, that's easy enough feedback.

Early.

It varies. Some get within a few days or a week of submission.
