the inside secret is interviews have almost no impact on admissions decisions.

This is why I stopped doing admissions interviews for Princeton – the only applicants I interviewed who were admitted were apparently hooked water polo players. It became clear that while it was a nice way to engage alumni (debatable, actually) and prospective students, it didn’t seem to have much material impact on the admissions decision.
