[quote=Anonymous]Interviewer for another Ivy here. I've had 5 admits in almost 20 years. The only thing I can conclude is that the interview is useful at the margin, but academic performance is paramount. In other words, exactly what the schools themselves say they look at. I always ask my candidates to redact grades and standardized tests from their resumes, if they prepared one. If you do something like this you won't know which strong interview is weak elsewhere, or the reverse. The admissions-industrial complex won't agree with me. But there isn't any money in advising kids to go back to 8th/9th grade and study more. [/quote]
