CMU Alumni Interview?

<p>Hey guys!</p>

<p>I was thinking of scheduling an alumni interview for CMU, but the closest alumni to my town went to HSS instead of where I want to apply (CIT). I was wondering whether anyone would know if CMU valued interviews from CIT alumni over other interviewers, or does it not really matter? </p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>Personally, I dont think it matters. The only place it would be an issue would just be on your end because you may not be able to learn as much from someone who didn’t go to the school you’re applying to. But otherwise, their job is to get to know you and your interest in CMU so logically I don’t see why what school they went to is a big deal. But that’s just may opinion! Not really based off of fact more just what CMU states is the purpose of the interview.</p>
