<p>Hi I've just been lurking around here recently.</p>
<p>Can any alumnus interview you? Or do they have to be approved or something? Cuz my english teacher right now, who I meet every day, is alumni and is listed on the website. Can I have my interview with my teacher? And can it help with admission? Thanks.</p>
<p>Yea you need to request an interview. Having your English teacher as an alumni interview seems like a good situation. Definitely ask him/her to give you an interview (you should ask your teacher if you could, however from my perspective there is no reason why you couldn’t be able to have an interview with him/her). </p>
<p>I believe interviews can help with admission because they provide the admission officers with more information about you.</p>
<p>Usually alumni interviewers get some training by the admissions office. Normally people who work in schools don’t do the interviewing as they may favor kids from their own schools over kids from other schools.</p>
