i did an admissions interview. i think it is beneficial to do at any school if you have the chance (even though i did not get int CMU) because it does confirm that you are interested in the school. That said, i felt that of all the schools I applied to, CMU was the school that cared the least about my grades, SATs, etc. So probably that interview is not the be-all-end-all. For better or for worse, CMU says that the audition is 80 percent of the audition process. It was made very clear to me that it is a rare student who gets "accepted" to the drama program, but doesn't get in because their academics are just really really bad. So, this interview is probably not going to be the deciding factor.
However, i still suggest to do it because it is good practice. I was asked typical "interview" questions at a lot of my auditions (they were just more relating to theater....what are your career aspirations, dream roles, etc). so i say go for it if you can. but if not, that's ok too.
but schedule it soon if you choose to. as i recall, a lot of people from precollege and elsewhere scheduled them for over the summer.
