| I just wrapped up an interview, and what I was told by my interviewer was that all the applicants she had interviewed in the past were accepted, and she knew of local applicants who were not interviewed. She seemed to believe that it was an indicator of interest from the college, but I'm not really sure how much these alumni interviewers really know about the admissions process.
I'm also looking at Clark as a safety, but if it is marketing for the college then I've got to admit that it's a pretty intelligent way of going about it. My interviewer did a good job of giving me an ego boost and talking up the school simultaneously.
Out of schools in Massachusetts it's not to say that I'd pick it over Tufts, but if I got accepted to BU or Brandeis and Clark it would actually make the decision more difficult. Whatever their intention is with their interviews it works. |
