<p>If yes, then how do you think it will help? If no, then why not?</p>
<p>But do you think an optional interview with an Alumni is helpful ?</p>
<p>Alumni interview is the least important thing in admissions generally, and especially in Cornell admissions. They are informative rather than evaluative. I’ve been in touch with the admissions committee here a little bit(because they want us to publicize Cornell to Indians over the summer/winter in our old high schools), and I didn’t even know that Cornell has alum interviews!!</p>
<p>However 16erdad, if you want to have an interview, I am sure they do them over Skype/phone.</p>
