[quote=Anonymous]I guess you mean alumni interviewer, not a member of the admissions staff? I'm an alumni interviewer at a top-25 university. They don't give us any questions to ask. We just fill out a form later asking for our assessment of a candidate. I think it's a decent question, not so much for what their views are, but how they arrive at them. Do they consider the nuances, etc. I also interview people for jobs, and we ask crazy questions like "How many tubes of toothpaste are consumed in the US each year?" I don't care their answer, and I don't know it either -- it's to see how they approach the problem and come up with a reasonable estimate. For example, the marketing job candidate who estimated based 40 million based on there being 10 million people in the US using 4 tubes/year did not get the job. She had no concept of population size, which is key to understanding with marketing.[/quote]
