[quote=Anonymous]As an interviewer, it's a stupid question because it might alienate a student and cast the school in a negative light - as it did here. First and foremost, alumni interviewers are supposed to be making the case for our schools, not acting as admissions officers. I would only ask about activism if a student brought it up in to gauge the depth of their involvement in order to highlight any leadership role they might have. One of the self-justifications of elite institutions is that students form personal bonds across the ideological spectrum, so future influencers/policymakers/leaders can relate to each other and work together for the common good. You can't have much of an elite institution if you only have one side of the aisle. That's why SMU, Liberty, BYU, and even Notre Dame will never be considered elite. The Ivies don't make that mistake. [/quote]
