Interviews are very tricky though. Last year a dartmouth alumni told me the same thing but ended up getting rejected though.

We have a family friend whose husband is a Penn alum who used to do college alum interviews. He said he met around 30 kids and thought almost all of them were great fits for Penn and told them they were great fits for the school. (I thought he only gave negative comments on 2 of the 30 or so) Not one kid he interviewed got into Penn - he was actually depressed about it and ended up quitting giving alum interviews.

I used to do alum interviews for my alma mater and it’s very, very disheartening when kids who so desperately want to attend are rejected. You really do take it personally.
