From another alumni interviewer: how do you know? We do not see grades or test scores and are very specifically told not to ask. So either you are lying or you are violating the rules but requesting that information. And I doubt you interview enough kids to have a statistically significant data set to make such a definitive statement (I learned about that in Stats 110 back in the day).[/quote]
I interview 5 young women in each round, sometimes more. I do not see their files but I absolutely learn about their accomplishments, including NMF. More importantly, these students typically have incredible credentials and super rigorous academics. I’ve seen 3 get in over the last 5 years. The head of my region shares the stats for my area so I know just how few are getting in. This student’s profile is not in alignment with those that are admitted based on my experience. The published stats for admitted students support my beliefs. I would not recommend wasting an ED shot, but it’s certainly his right. [/quote]

Why do you only interview women? That is very odd.[/quote]

Most (all?) schools match interviewers and candidates by gender.  I had g/b twins who interviewed for about 10 top10 schools each and they always had same-gender interviewers.  [/quote]

duke does not do that as a policy. it is not ever mentioned and i interview all genders for duke every year, always have.[/quote]

I have been an alumni interviewer for Duke for 17 years, and I can tell you they do not parse by gender. [/quote]
