<p>LACalum,…refering to your post a few days ago… It’s fair that Carleton does not give students who have the means to visit and interview on campus an edge in admission. I’m sure you are right on this, however I did mention there are alumni interviews. This way a student in Hawaii can interview without flying to Carleton. While these interviews may be a minimal part of the admission decision, my understanding was that as an alumni you write appraisel of the student and this is included in the student’s admission file. I’m sure there are 100 or so cases every year where an admission decision is a tough call and is based on some pretty minimal differences between students. In my opinion it would be foolish not to show interest in Carleton and take the interview seriously.</p>
