<p>I sent in my ED application October 21st, and requested an alumni interview a few days ago.. I was wondering if I should change it to an on campus interview?? Do the two differ in the weight (which is know is minuscule) that they have on your admission or lack thereof? Does anybody have any advice on the interview process at Johns Hopkins? *btw I'm pretty borderline I believe </p>
<p>Try asking a student at JHU </p>

<p>I do (off-campus) alumni interviews and if the interviews have any impact on your application, it’s absolutely minimal. When I applied to JHU, I never asked for an interview, never got one, and was admitted; in the few years that I’ve been interviewing prospective students, there have been students I absolutely loved who weren’t admitted and students I wasn’t impressed by who were. Don’t sweat it.</p>
<p>I doubt the students there know… Who does the on campus interviewing? Is it students or admissions staff? It seems to me that IF you are a great interview, you might get benefit from having someone actually in the admissions process interview you. Alumni interviews never seem to carry much weight at any college… most interviewers say the same as @YanksDolphins, that the students they like don’t get in. But if students do the interviewing, that probably won’t help much, either.</p>
<p>@intparent that’s my question exactly… Does the on campus interview have more chance of having an effect? @YanksDolphins? Are those done by actual admissions officers?</p>
<p>when my daughter (class of '15) interviewed as a high school senior, the on campus interviewer was a student not admission staff.</p>
