<p>How important are alumni interviews? Because I recently got contacted about them but all of the alumni seem to live on the other side of the state. The closest is about an hour and a half away. Is it worth making the trip for an interview?</p>
<p>It won't hurt your chances if you can't get an interview. If you have a good interview, it can only help your application, but not having one is by no means the end of the world. I was accepted ED without an alumni interview.</p>
