[quote=Anonymous][quote]Unfortunately, many alumnae who conduct admissions interviews share your overblown perception of their role in the application process. I have seen this much too often among the alum interviewers whom I know, and have heard the same thing from several former colleagues who are now admissions directors/VPs. All too frequently alum interviewers are motivated less by a genuine interest in supporting their alma maters than by a misplaced belief that they will have an inside track when their own kids apply to college.

However, the facade goes both ways. Alumni interviewers are not there to provide useful observations to select candidates but to make them feel that they are shaping the future student body. If they believe that they have this power and helped select students, then they are more invested in the school and more likely to donate $$. The University uses this process to tap into inflated egos and entice more money out of them. The alumni use this process to feed their ego and promote that they have an inside track for their children or friends' children. [/quote]
