<p>I know they are optional, but I want one. Why hasn't an alumni contacted me? (I live in a relatively populated area). Is there anything I can do at this point?</p>
<p>There are roughly 100 other threads on this very same topic. Why not do a search?</p>
<p>There’s nothing you can do about it, and it is not going to impact your application negatively. The most that can come out of an alumni interview is an opportunity for you to inform them of any major accomplishments you’ve achieved since you submitted your application. Other than that, it’s just a Q&A session.</p>
