<p>I used to be an AAR (Alumni Admissions Rep). From what LC82 says above, I’d say they’re still doing things pretty similarly. </p>
<p>One thing I would add, though - I received contact info for students who attended my assigned high schools who had applied to Laf. However, if a student was felt to have little or no chance of admission to the college after a first review of their application, I was told NOT to contact them. So the fact that an AAR contacted you for an interview is a good sign. It’s not a guarantee of admission, but it does mean that Admissions feels you are at least a reasonable candidate. :)</p>
<p>On the other hand, if someone reading thread this has applied to Laf and hasn’t been contacted for an interview, don’t panic. There just might not be an AAR assigned to your school. AAR is a volunteer job, so if there are not enough alumni/alumnae in your area who want to interview, you might not get contacted. Not having an interview in that case would NOT be considered a lack of interest in the college, the college knows if they gave your name to an AAR or not.</p>
