Don’t worry about the interviews. My son requested one in Nov '17, didn’t hear back and he got in EA round with significant merit aid. We are a couple of hours flight from Cleveland, so maybe they don’t have alum available in my area for the interview. We also haven’t visited the campus before the application. Son only attended a college fair with CWRU, among the tens of schools there. He did sign up the contact sheet at the fair and had one simple correspondence regarding an application question. That said, we always check the email CWRU sent during and after the application. Good luck to all applicants out there.
