[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I interview for Princeton. Twice caught highly qualified applicants in what I believe were falsehoods — explained in detail why in my report. One asserted something about their EC that was off (I happened to know something about the recognition described); the other asserted something about their enthusiasm for the school that did not add up. My spouse interviews for another highly selective school and came home one day grey, for he suspected the candidate had made up an entire financial and family situation. In all three cases we carefully explained our reasoning in our reports. The candidates were not admitted. Perhaps they would not have been admitted regardless, but the suspicion they generated didn’t help their cause. [/quote]

Well, you suck if you had no absolute proof. You reported someone bc his enthusiasm for the school didn’t add up? This goes for the idiot interviewer who thought an applicant should have been forced to disclose his tax return. [/quote]

If you want to see how the alumni interview can absolutely determine admissions outcome at Ivy (even when they outwardly May say it’s not determinative), read this:
