<p>I will concede that I don’t have first-hand knowledge of Duke’s system. I know that my alma mater doesn’t do any screening before it sends applicants’ names to the local alumni clubs, and that my local alumni clubs doesn’t do any screening before it assigns applicants to interviewers. </p>
<p>Duke may operate differently, but I don’t know of any colleges that do engage in screening before they match up applicants and alumni for interviews.</p>
