Requested an alumni interview, but didn't get it.

I read somewhere that 4/5 of accepted students had undergone an interview. I can’t confirm this number.

This isn’t to say that not having an interview will work against you, though. It’s just that Chicago likes dedicated and interested students, and those kinds of students are much more likely to undergo an interview than students who are apathetic about Chicago.

I got in EA without doing any kind of interview, and my application wasn’t anything great. I’d talk with the admissions office about it, but if you can’t get an interview, don’t worry too much about it.
