<p>For those who’ve already went through the process, how does brown arrange the interviews? </p>
<p>Do ALL ED’ers get interviewed or a selected few? Do they phone you to arrange one, or do they interview by phone? </p>
<p>Could someone please explain the process? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>From the website:</p>
<p>"Interviews are recommended but not required. Once your application has been received, an alumnus/a in your area is contacted. Where possible, this applies to international applicants as well. He or she will then contact you and, if you so desire, arrange a time and place to conduct an interview. Although we try to reach all of our applicants, we are not always able to do so due to the nature and demographics of this all-volunteer organization. Please keep in mind that it will not negatively affect your application if you do not meet with one of our alumni volunteers. As of the 2003-2004 academic year, we no longer offer on-campus interviews."</p>
<p>And no, they are not selective in providing interviews.</p>
<p>I should point out that the interviewer may not call you just as soon as your application is received. The admission office sends the interview forms in batches to the area chair who is in charge of your region. The area chair then farms out the interview assignments to his/her team of volunteers. THEN you will get a call. ED applicants are usually called in November. RD applicants are usually called in February.</p>
