<p>As an alumni interviewer for many, many years, I can say with almost 100 percent certainty that the interviews are non-evaluative. At least that’s what I’ve been told by the chairs of the alumni interviewing program in my area at the time of the interviews. Some years I’ve interviewed 4-5 applicants, or like last year, just one. Up until several years ago, the evaluation form included many questions requiring detailed answers about the applicants. As I recall, last year’s form contained a couple of very basic questions, none of which required detailed answers.</p>
