Does Brown interview everyone or just those with chances?

Believe it, chjmov1. And phoenix, your interviewer was wrong. It’s all computerized. You file your application, it gets into the computer system, and is automatically uploaded into the site where interviews are arranged. 100% of applicants are in the system and eligible for interviews; there is no screening process. (The only exception, I suppose, would be celebrities – I doubt Emma Watson is in the system.)

Since more than 85 percent of students are not accepted, then I suppose it could be considered a waste of time. But Brown views alumni interviews in other ways, as a PR tool, a way to put a friendly face onto what can be a cruel process. Which is why it is such a shame when some interviewers are condescending or mean or ask ridiculous questions.
