<p>Are the interviews mandatory?</p>
<p>Unless things have changed since i came, they are optional.</p>
<p>Does it hurt you if you don't do an interview?</p>
<p>I'm sure it wouldn't hurt since they aren't required, but it would definitely help to demonstrate interest.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>well, I interviewed, and I got the predisent's scholarship. remember that your adcom determines the amountt of merit scholarship you get.</p>
