[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be careful, OP.  There are Ivy grads on here who do the alumni interviews to feed their egos and keep living their glory days who will insist that their interviews "count" when the rest of us know that they're just being indulged and they don't.[/quote]

I'm of the losers you're talking about and the admissions office showed us data that getting the highest interview score correlates with higher percentage of admission. I admit that's not necessarily causation, but when all of these kids are so impressive, there are cases when the balance can be tipped.

I do not care about this. What I enjoy most post-Covid is just getting to know these kids and telling them that they will do great things because that's who they are, not because the school might be lucky enough to choose them or not.

Having said that, it almost never moves the needle. OP, try your best, take it seriously, look for good advice online. 
It has more potential to hurt you. Adcomms can justify a Denial from a negative comment in an interview.[/quote]

Do you have examples of what applicants did during the interview that made you write negative comments?  Thanks.[/quote]
