[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alimni interviews are just vehicles to feed the egos of alums[/quote] Exactly. They're long been an alumni engagement tool with little to no impact on admissions decisions. [/quote] Yeah I assumed it was just another fundraising technique But it’s a fair trade for me, I’m learning about admissions and what kind of kids get into my Alma mater and what they did to do that, and it will benefit my kids. [/quote] 100 percent. I was an alumni interviewer for a school that is not Harvard. When my son was in eighth grade, I interviewed a young woman who was incredible. She brought me a copy of her resume, which I saved and referenced many times over the years. It's how I learned about things like the PVSA, Congressional Award, Senate Page Program, etc. -- all things that my kid pursued. (The applicant ended up withdrawing her application because she got in early to Harvard.)[/quote]
