[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to interview for the ivy league school from which I graduated. We attempted to interview everyone; if we didn't have capacity, it was based on where you live (proximity to interviewers), not anything in your application. We were not told anything about your application, not your grades or test scores or activities or anything else. Maybe a bad interview could hurt your application, but otherwise I don't think it counted for much.[/quote]

This sounds like my school. In this year’s interviewer training video, they said that they use the content of the interview summary as part of their picture of the student in the holistic process of forming a class. So it’s an additional source of potential information for admissions staff about the student’s interests and activities, as far as what they might contribute if they came to campus.

They emphasized that it’s never a deciding factor. No one gets in solely because of a good interview or rejected because of a bad one.
