[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends who is doing them. I don't think alumni interviews at competitive schools make a difference at all. But on campus interviews with the admissions officers at SLACs can make a difference. The schools where DCs applied where it seemed to be important include Wake Forest, Trinity, Hamilton, etc.[/quote]

My child has also done interviews at his high school with admission staff from colleges he couldn't get to prior to applying. Those opportunities are not as available at big, public high schools but at his small school, it is done.  [/quote]

The was done at my daughter's "high big, public" school. Not a private interview mind you, but an in person presentation and meeting (with just those kids who expressed an interest in a given school). I don't think these are useful, because your child is missing class to hear a canned talk. [/quote]

My son did 3 1:1 interviews just prior to or after the group presentations at his high school. The admissions staff will do that at smaller public or private schools.[/quote]
