<p>I know it's not that important but I read somewhere on the Parents forum about how their interviewees got accepted/rejected or whatnot. Since some parents here may be interviewers, does anyone know if the interviewers know your decision?</p>
<p>My Dartmouth interviewer emailed me to congratulate me on my acceptance; I haven't heard from anyone else, though, so I don't know if it depends on the school.</p>
<p>Brown sends its interviewers a letter with the outcomes of the students they interviewed. This year for the first time interviewers could see the decisions online; they went up four days after the decisions came out. The letters usually arrive 4-6 days after the decisions.</p>
<p>My father used to be an alumni interviewer for Yale and he was aware of who was admitted. It's a tough job because a lot of effort goes in to the process and very few inteviewees get admitted. Chances are your alumni interviewer is very much on your side.</p>
<p>I'm an alum interviewer for Tufts and we get the decisions on a private site that only the interviewer can see of a list of their interviewees, AFTER the interviewees have received their decisions. I agree with MomOFour, that an alum interviewer very much hopes that many of the students he/she interviews will get in and frankly, it is disappointing for us, as well, when we find out of more denials than acceptances.</p>
<p>And, BTW (though I know this was not asked) it is a nice thing to do to write to all the interviewers after decisions come out to thank them again-whatever the decision is.</p>
<p>This is the third year in a row where the school I interview for had less than 10% acceptance. In the three years, 2 out of 17 rec'd acceptances -- only one matriculated.</p>
<p>We're given decisions several days after the official online reveal date for the applicants so no one inadvertantly congratulates someone who may not have rec'd the letter or seen their online decision. It makes sense to let the interviewers continue to help w/those admitted as we really advocate the school at that point.</p>
<p>I have interviewed for my alma mater - a top LAC. We usually get a letter with the results for our interviewees. I like to email those that are accepted to congratulate them.</p>
<p>Im not a parent but my teacher (a Yale grad) got to know the admission decisions of all the kids in our area.</p>
<p>Soozievt: How to explain, then, how my Tufts interviewer called my family and let us know I had been accepted before decisions were available on the online site (TAMS)?? I was happy to know, but it did take some fun out of the college acceptance procedure...</p>
<p>First impressions matter most. A school with aggressive yield management, such as Tufts, may try to be earliest in contacting admitted (or recruited) students, booking them for a visit weekend before the student's calendar gets filled, and so on.</p>
<p>lolabelle, when did decisions go online this year? I was out of town for a week during the admissions decisions time and just returned, and I've opened the email alerting me that I could find the decisions for my interviewees online. That email to me arrived on the afternoon of Friday, March 30. I presume, as in years past, that I was notified after the interviewees. When did your interviewer call you? And when did official notification get posted for applicants? Truthfully, it is set up so that applicants find out before we do, though not a LOT before we do. Let me know, thanks.</p>
<p>In any case, congrats on your acceptance which is an achievement considering all the fine applicants that are denied.</p>
<p>No, I was admitted to the class of 2007. So this happened to me four years ago. And I don't think yield management was a factor as no one else I know had the same experience that year. I just think it was my over-excited interviewer.</p>
