[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There seems to be a lot of misinformation floating around. Here’s my experience …

Last year, over 25 students (including my kid) applied R-EA to Stanford. Around 10 of those applicants - again, all 25+ from the same public school community - were contacted for interviews. My kid was one of them.

All of the reading I did at that time suggested that the interviews have zero influence over the admissions process.

My kid was deferred during R-EA and ultimately rejected by Stanford, but I happened to have a business meeting this past spring with a different alumni interviewer. When I mentioned that my kid had very recently been rejected, he - without any prompting on my part about the interview process - assured me that the interviews are prioritized and that each interview results in a rating that is submitted to the admissions committee. According to this guy, the rating is VERY MUCH part of the discussion during consideration of applicants. YMMV. [/quote]

We know from the Harvard litigation discovery that Harvard also had a prioritization system in place.

I believe (but can’t prove) that Dartmouth does as well in areas with insufficient interviewers. But here in DC area, I believe everyone gets an interview. [/quote]
