<p>While talking to admission officers/regional reps can yield useful information, this is not the same as an interview. We live a 20 minutes’ walk from the admission office. We attended an information session and my S did the tour (even though he was pretty familiar already with the geography and history of Harvard). But when it came to an interview, it was done with an alumna, at her office, a twenty minutes walk in the other direction from our home.</p>
