[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The post does not say that all programs are alike in FCPS. It says that admissions officers are familiar with the programs. That means they understand the differences in the programs. Lots of alums do interviews for their schools, but that doesn't mean they necessarily know every single thing that goes on in the admissions office.[/quote]

I would bet these longstanding regional interviewers know a hell of a lot more about the process than you.  High school students looking to highly selective colleges would probably put their faith with the former than the latter.  This is rational don't you think?[/quote]

Hard to say, because you have no idea what my background on this subject is.

Alum interviewers talk to applicants and then prepare a report that they send to the college admissions office. That is the extent of their input into the admissions process. The admissions office then can use that input as they see fit. The alum interviewer is not making admissions decisions. The school hopes that the alum interviewer will act as an ambassador for the school, answering questions the student might have and giving the student some insight into the school and what it is like to be a student there.
