[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, the interviews are assigned based on interviewer availability, location, and student intended majors.

They are not assigned by someone who knows the grades and test scores. And at that point the essays aren’t even read yet.

At my Ivy we interview about 70% of the applicants in Fairfax Co.

There would be no way to ensure those 70% covered all the potential admits. Even if we wanted to. [/quote]

Are you familiar with the old Harvard guidelines that were released in the litigation? It strikes me that IVP scores may be used to prioritize. Interviewers aren’t aware of this. So I think the question remains - anyone get in who didn’t interview? If you’re a 4, seems like you’d likely fall in the low priority group and may not get an interview.

“ NTERVIEW PROFILE (IVP):
Below is the language for uniform implementation of the Interview Profile number (IVP) for use with all Schools and Scholarship Chairs. The IVP will serve as a guide for chairs to know when our office needs the reports, and therefore how quickly they need to be assigned. All interviewers will be told that they should submit their interview report no later than two weeks after receiving the interview assignment.
1. An applicant for whom the committee needs more information to reach a decision - please have interview report in as soon as possible.
2. An applicant for whom more information would be very helpful during our deliberations - please have interview report in by the sub-committee deadline.
3. Please have interview report in by December 1 (EA) or March 1 (RA).
4. Based on the materials currently available, the committee needs no additional
information at this time.”
“ This language has been distributed to the S&S chairs via email and can also be found in the updated handbook and website instructions. (Please ask Bryce Gilfillian if you need help accessing the site). Please have a conversation with your chairs to determine if you wish to use the IVP, and please make clear that this information should not be shared with other interviewers or applicants. If your chairs have additional clerical or operational questions about the IVP, please direct them to email []/alum assistant at []@fas.harvard.edu.
When reading, please input your IVP code on the First Reader Rating Form. You should input an IVP for all cases for clubs that use this system or if the coding could be helpful for your own interview tracking purposes. Continue to pass on the folder to your chair and/or code out to Committee Review bin.”
