This discussion was created from comments split from: Selective Interviews for International Students.
I had a similar question, and this thread was unanswered, so I thought to revive it 
It depends on whether there are a lot of alumni interviewers in your area. If there are not and you are not contacted for an interview, it will not be held against you.
@kidsteph none of the ivies interview 100% of the applicants. it is difficult to do that due to time, location constraints and lack of alumni availability. not getting an interview for this reason will not put one at a disadvantage though
