<p>does bucknell use the interview as an evaluative part of admissions?</p>
<p>would it benefit me to get an interview while visiting the campus. im going down to PA this week to visit.</p>
<p>My son just got their application in the mail and it says it is informational. However, I know a few kids from class of 2006 who did interview and felt that it helped with their admission- so I am not sure. (so now I wonder why I am posting at all!). Does anyone know for sure?</p>
<p>according to the bucknell common data set, interviews are 'considered' (the lowest of the three levels of importance) in the admissions process. to me that means this: a memorable interview will probably get an otherwise borderline candidate in; anything short of that will merely help in the 'school interest' category.</p>
<p>that said, my suggestion is to interview if you can. its both a great way to learn more about any school and an easy way strengthen (even if only slightly) an application.</p>
