<p>For the schools that have alumni interviewers that contact you, does the colleges generally choose them specifically based on a shared interest? So if you like science (and it's clear on your app), will a school chose an interviewer that likes science too?</p>
<p>I have no idea...but of the two interviews I've had, both of my interviewers were very involved in music. (Just like me!)</p>
<p>Not always. I am interested in science and biology-that is really clear on my app- but all my interviewers have been lawyers.</p>
<p>No, they don't. Due to the shortage of alum willing to volunteer, you get whomever is available.</p>
<p>Mmk - thanks.</p>
<p>Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. It probably depends on how many alumni interviewers are available in your area. One of my S's colleges gave him a choice of alumni to contact in the area -- 1 was a science major, the other was a social sciences major in college. He went with the science major, who is now a lawyer, to interview with, as my S is interested in math and sciences.</p>
