Necessity of an undergraduate/alumni interview

<p>If I'm applying to BS/MD programs and I have very strong stats/GPA, then should I still schedule an undergraduate interview to express interest in the school? Or does an alumni interview have little bearing on the BS/MD process considering that if chosen to move on, I will already have to schedule an interview for the program itself? </p>

<p>I understand that it can't hurt me, but I'm applying to many programs, so I don't want to expend unnecessary effort if there's little payback. :) </p>
