[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ That's because PP
was roght. You are arguing just for the sake of arguing and you actualky don't know what you are talking about. I've interviewed for Harvard. Famous kids are NOT selected out to be interviewed by a special alum. It's by geographical designation. I covered McLeannand Great Falls and N. Arlington. And also these interviews mean zero to admissions. It's a move to keep alums engaged with the Ivy in the hopes the alums will give more money.[/quote]

The person you are saying was right says the opposite of what you're saying. You and I agree: I never said or thought that special alum are selected to interview special applicants. I agree that alum interviews add nothing unless something inappropriate is reported (racist comment, as an example - which would be virtually  unheard of). The only thing I said is that those few kids from very famous and wealthy parents  DO get special perks in admissions. That's all I was saying. [/quote]\

I'll add that I'm also the poster that said that alum interviews are meaningless BUT a lengthy interview with the ROTC officer from an ivy definitely means something They aren't having those lengthy interviews for every ROTC candidate, but rather ones they already know admissions has given the okay to. The three ivy ROTC interviewed candidates I know all were accepted, all had lengthy interviews and all had interviews with the ROTC officers within 10 days of the admissions decisions being released.

That's the interview that I said matters. [/quote]

That would be for presumably the ROTC students that received the four year scholarship. That's a pretty elite group. The military is not dropping $300,000 on randoms. The ROTC students at MIT, Princeton, Vanderbilt, Duke and similar are very impressive. But it's like a sport team. These schools recruit them. The power is actually with the students. And obviously they all interview well to get the four year or the academies.  [/quote]
