<p>So I had a Tufts interview a few days ago. The Tufts alumnus said that the interview was NOT an evaluation but a chance for the student to know about Tufts University and vice-versa. The alumnus did say that he had to write a 1-2 page report to send back to the college. In my opinion, I thought I had an above average/good interview overall, but I realize that the interview may actually be worth very little on the college application since alumni may make subjective judgements of different individuals and may not be the most reliable data to use. </p>
<p>My questions are:</p>
<p>How much of an impact would the interview have on the college application (for Tufts)? How much weight would the alumni report bear on the college application?</p>
<p>Are interviews given to everyone who applies to Tufts provided that there are alumni who live near the individual? Or are they given only to applicants that initially have strong applications at first glance such as high SAT scores, high GPA, etc...?</p>
