Is visiting really important to Middlebury?

On the topic of interviews…I just got an email from an alumni interview person, asking when I would have my interview. Um…I didn’t request an alumni interview and I don’t want to have one…it seems that Middlebury places little value on the interview, and after visiting and interviewing at a ton of schools, I am all interviewed out–I thought I was done with that whole process. In fact, I thought I was done with applications entirely–I submitted them all before Christmas. Do they just go ahead and assign an alumni interviewer to everyone? Now I’m in a weird place because it would look bad if I didn’t have one, even though I never asked in the first place.
