<p>I am getting mixed messages on whether interviews are helpful. </p>
<p>My son is the grandson of a NE graduate. We were told at an info. session last spring that this qualifies him as a legacy and therefore, he can request an interview. However, when I look at the admissions website, it does not mention legacy interviews and I get the impression that they are not promoting any interviews. </p>
<p>Any thoughts on whether interviewing is beneficial?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>I have never heard of Northeastern doing evaluative interviews</p>
<p>The legacy interviews last year were conducted by NEU students that are on human resources coop. I personally think it hurt my second kid just because the girl/woman that interviewed her was clearly a student (trained) but very rigid/intimidating. My D as well as many other legacy were accepted into NUin even kids with stellar stats. I could be totally wrong on this but I got the impression that if you were legacy, fit their profile, and were not in the top 25% you were accepted into NUin.</p>
