<p>It is optional. Meaning: it is not necessary. I suppose if you go in and really blow it that might be noted in your file. Likewise, if you are a total delight. But… likely not considered when decisions are made and most kids admitted have not interviewed, so it is really not going to hurt you.</p>
<p>I live in an la suburb and didn’t even go in for an interview and I’m in today so I don’t think it made much a difference.</p>
