Alumni Interview vs. On-Campus Interview

[gibby]

I was too late to post this, but alumni interviews MATTER (not sure how much senior student interviews matter though by comparison). If you don’t, check out these Yale sample alumni interview reports given to alumni: https://asc.yale.edu/samplereports

GOOD REPORT: I enthusiastically recommend Lindsay for admission. I feel we’d be very fortunate to have her—Lindsay’s contributions to the Yale community would extend well beyond her four years as an undergraduate in New Haven!

NOT SO GOOD REPORT: while I genuinely enjoyed meeting Jerod, it seemed like he was giving me some answers he thought were what colleges would want to hear. He has talents, but perhaps that would be best used at another college?
