[quote=Anonymous]I oversaw this process for an Ivy school for several years. I was responsible for a few thousand students in my region who requested interviews. There was no rhyme or reason to how or which kids got assigned. It had zero to do with who was “excellent” or who wasn’t, as I had no info on any kid besides their names and contact info. I just randomly attached alum volunteers to each name—there was no other way to do it. And if someone didn’t get an interview, it was just because we ran out of alum volunteers or an alum flaked—again zero to do with the kid’s application or chances. Kids and parents read all this meaning into these interviews—when there is none. I stopped doing it partly cuz I found it so cynical. The schools do this to keep alumni engaged, willfully misleading them into thinking their opinion matters, when no Ivy school.is making admissions decisions based on these interviews.[/quote]
