merc81: just want to run something by you, hope you don’t mind. Yesterday my son received an email from a nearby alum saying Hamilton admissions has requested he interview our son. My son has already had an interview with Hamilton on campus, so we are confused as to why they would need another one. After some research on CC, I can only think that 1) this is an admissions oversight or 2) that they need to find out more about him for some reason. My research indicates that this is a fairly rare occurrence, and the only other schools I could find that sometime request second interviews are Harvard or Yale.

My son emailed back that he would be happy to meet, but let him know the date and person who he had already interviewed with. He is waiting to hear back. This may be much ado about nothing, but I find it curious. Do you have any insight as to why this would happen?
