I know firsthand everyone does NOT get a shot at an alumni interview. My son applied this year SCEA and he received a letter stating "alumni interviewers are linked to SPECIFIC schools and you school is not linked....therefore, we regret we will not be able to offer you an interview."
I found this somewhat presumptious and annoying, because we may be in a rural area, but we are within 2 hours of 2 different major US cities, and he would have been more than willing to drive to an interview. This state has very few good public and/or prep schools, but I bet they are linked. I do believe every kid who applies should have the chance to interview, if they are willing to go to the interviewer's area.
The website says the lack of an interview will not harm the candidate. For those of you not getting an interview, believe them! My S was admitted SCEA.
