Which 7 Ivies are “requiring” interviews???
Yale website “An interview is not a required part of the application process”
Princeton website “Interviews aren’t required as part of the admission process”
Cornell website “Once you apply to Cornell, an alumnus or alumna in your area may contact you to schedule a time to talk. While this optional, informal conversation helps the admission committee get to know you better, its main purpose is to give you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about Cornell. THIS MEETING DOES NOT SERVE AS AN ADMISSIONS INTERVIEW” (emphasis added)
Dartmouth website “Interviews Are Optional”
***I could go on but as I stated above the alumni interview for almost all colleges is more about the alumni staying connected to the college than it is about evaluating prospective student applicants.
