<p>Does getting interviewed have anything to do with how much Dartmouth is interested? I'm really worried that my lack of an interview is a reflection of my application. The college told me that it has nothing to do with that, but I'm not sure if they're just saying that. Does anyone know how the interviewing process works?</p>
<p>It has nothing to do with it. Sometimes you live in an area that has few D alumni, plus they tend to be over-booked. I talked to one who said she has about 40 per year! You are not made a priority if you are more likely to get in. There is an equally likely chance that they already have accepted you, and see no need to give you an interview, so they request the alumni try to do them only with those borderline applicants at this point.</p>

<p>i agree with pamplemoose...ive stated this in previous years the interview
means nothing...most of you can speak and what will the local interviewer say about you...nice young man/lady..will be an asset to your school..etc..etc
95 percent will say this ...if you have no speaking skills then maybe it would
hurt you...
we were told years ago by an admission officer the interview and the peer essay would
maybe help in a tie break situation where you competing for the 1049 spot
available....good luck youve done everything you possibly can do
so just go to a few movies this week and distract yourself from the
nervous wait....</p>
<p>haha thanks dudes</p>
<p>My son's friend got a "likely" letter a week before he was called for an interview-don't panic that you haven't been called yet.</p>

<p>Thanks. </p>
<p>However, we are talking about ED here. It is highly unlikely that those of us who haven't been contacted yet will be interviewed. The actual decisions may be out as soon as this Friday afternoon.</p>
