<p>Hi there, I would like to ask a question about the interviews in the admission process: Is everyone going to be contacted to schedule an interview with local alumni? Or is it only for students who are likely to be accepted?</p>
<p>i think they will try to accommodate as many people as possible, but i'm not sure whether the selection process is random or by merit. if you want an interview, do call them up and ask or state it on your app. an interview's only gonna give you a slight edge since it's only fair when not everyone's gonna get one. still, a slight edge is better than none :D i think my duke interview provided that small push to help me get in.</p>
<p>thanks for the reply screwitlah. Wish you all the best at Duke =)</p>
<p>Anyone else? other thoughts? Any comment is welcomed.</p>
<p>Alumni interviews do not matter much at top schools.</p>
