<p>In an effort to expand on-campus programs for admissions visitors and provide greater equity in the admissions process, the admissions office announced last week that on-campus interviews for prospective students by seniors at the College will be discontinued this spring. </p>

<p>The shift away from on-campus interviewing has occurred at all Ivy League schools save Yale University. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Amherst College and Williams College have also ended their on-campus interviewing programs, said Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Karl Furstenberg. </p>

<p>As prospective applicants for the Class of 2012 begin the college search process in the upcoming months, the admissions office is shifting its resources to accommodate a larger number of visitors.</p>

<p>“Our plan is to … provide them with more contact with Dartmouth undergraduates, one of our greatest assets in generating strong interest in the College,” Furstenberg said. </p>

<p>I’m not surprised no one cares about this. But, I think it’s a good thing even though I’m intimately familiar with the on-campus interview process.</p>
