<p>is it detrimental that i decide not to request an alumni interview? How important is it?</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>Many people are accepted without interviewing, but if you have some special circumstances or interview very well, it might be a good idea. It also might make a difference if you're borderline for admission or for merit money.</p>
<p>do it especially if you're borderline or you feel the personal side of you lacking in the rest of your app.</p>
<p>i got into IS in ED1 without doing an interview but i think my personality and all that good stuff really shined through in my essays.</p>
<p>there is very obviously another thread, however I'm certain my alumni interview had little impact, if any. Its more informative for yourself I'd say.</p>
