how much weight does an interview carry in the overall consideration of an applicant?

<p>For colleges and pgms where this is a serious consideration, they have established methods to evaluate. Most others, including typical ivies, they fully recognize the inherent deficiencies of a 45 min session with an untrained volunteer. In general (and especially for Columbia) it will mean nothing in 95% of the time. Plz don’t stress. And ppl who aren’t involved shouldn’t conflate it otherwise and add stress IMHO</p>
