<p>Vossron covered what is in Carleton’s Common Data Set, that fact has not been in dispute. The musings have been on how in the world Carleton can claim not to consider the interest level of the applicant when Carleton’s supplement asks the ‘Why Carleton’ question etc.</p>
<p>

<p>Again, small potatoes to be sure, but, presumably that (unknown) college indicates that alumni interviews receive the same weight as an on-campus interview. Realistically, that may not truly be correct as Alumni interviewer thank you notes are not in a kid’s file when the hard decisions are made - when memories of one candidate versus another fade - leaving one thing in a file that might be a decision breaker between candidates. </p>
<p>Naturally, that school also checked that a candidate’s interest level is not factored into decisions … right? :)</p>
