<p>i'm a (totally confused) junior that's trying to figure out this whole college thing ...can you start scheduling interviews even before you submit your application? If so, what if you have an interview at a school and then later decide that you don't even want to apply there?</p>
<p>and are on campus interviews carry a larger weight than alumni interviews?</p>
<p>Yes, you can start scheduling interviews before you submit your application. Many people visit campuses and have on-campus interviews the summer before senior year.</p>
<p>If you decide that you don't even want to apply to a school after you have a college interview, you should e-mail the Admissions Office of the school, because the school is expecting you to apply to that school.</p>
<p>On-campus interviews do not carry a larger weight than alumni interviews, but if you're going to visit a campus, you might as well have an interview while you're at it.</p>
<p>thanks for your help!</p>
