<p>Of course. I think you should certainly take every interview seriously regardless of how much weight it carries. And you certainly don’t want to do anything that would raise red flags. But I still stand by my assertion that it would be a VERY small number of cases that would be decided due to “demonstrated interest” at Carleton. Not interviewing or visiting campus won’t keep you out, and visiting three times and writing 6 thank-you notes won’t get you in. Focus on showing you are a good fit (intellectually curious, passionate, non-competitive) rather than on declaring your love for Carleton.</p>
