[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD recently did a few interviews at a few of the more competitive colleges.  As PP suggested, its really preferable to interview with someone from the admissions team as opposed to alumni (sorry PP alumni).   Interestingly, following a thank you note back to the interviewer (SOP), DD received back a note from the interviewer advising her to "keep in touch over the summer, keep us posted on your activities" etc.  May not be very much but one thing we learned is that if you are on the radar screen it can't hurt.

(Separately, we have been told from admissions committee members that in a tie, someone who took the time to do the interview on campus will get the admissions nod)   [/quote]An on campus interview with an admissions committee member is preferable but I wouldn't discount interviewing with alumni.  There was a little bit of hesitation when I read the above alumni interviewer's comment about seeing if you would be a good fit at HER/HIS alma mater.  I just wonder how this is gauged (by academics, of course...by social, whether you're shy or not, no sports in a school that prides itself on team endeavors, etc).

Every alumni interviewer is an individual of course but that comment stood out.  Maybe I'm over analyzing! :)   [/quote]
