@denydenzig Interesting point and I’ll reference my daughters interview with a conservative alum. The previous year this alum interviewed a friend of my daughters who applied to UChicago RD. Her report on the interview was extremely negative as she was quite liberal in nature and disagreed with his perspective quite vehemently. She was subsequently denied to UChicago and is now at Harvard. My daughters interview with this same person was quite different (as hopefully I have raised her to keep an open mind even if she is liberal leaning), and this alum absolutely gave her a great recommendation, and she was admitted to UChicago. Personally I believe the alum was simply trying to weed out those kids who don’t have an open mind and willing to entertain dialogue on controversial subjects. JMHO.
