<p>Should I be excited or concerned about getting an alumni interview?</p>
<p>It's good because they are showing an interest (even if its just that somebody lives in my area).
But it could be bad that I am somewhat on the fence and this could be a make or break.</p>
<p>I don’t think you should read too much into it. I remember hearing that the interviews have more to do with alumni availability than applicant qualifications. I can’t find a link to back that up though. It might have been from a conversation with someone there.</p>
<p>I had my interview last week. And no you don’t have to be concerned because it’s technically optional for transfers. Also, they waive it if there are no alumni around your area.</p>
