Question about interviews

I have a question about how interviews are considered for admission. In the Common Data Set, it says that interviews are “considered” as part of the admission process. However, on the website, in the visit section, it says interviews are not required and are for informational purposes only. Can anyone clarify as to which is correct?

The web site. We don’t do evaluative interviews as a general rule. If you want to come in and chat with a counselor, please do! We’d love to have you, but it’s not part of the interview process because we couldn’t interview everyone.
