What is an On-Campus Interview?

<p>Is this something you sign up for? If so, when can I sign up for it? If I do an on-campus interview, do I not get an alumni interview, or are they two separate things? </p>

<p>Is an on-campus interview just a way of securing yourself an interview in case you aren't offered one with an alumni?</p>

<p>Also - do those who do on-campus interviews have a higher chance?..</p>

<p>An on-campus interview… is an interview conducted on campus. That’s it. Policy regarding it differs from college to college.</p>

<p>You won’t get an alumni interview if you do an on campus interview</p>

<p>Frutiaspice, are you sure? Because they’re so different…</p>

<p>Powerbomb, it depends on the school; for example, a few months ago Yale sent me an e-mail telling me I could sign up for one, so I did.</p>

<p>Alumni are trained to conduct interviews like those on campus. If you’ve already done one interview, alumni will not bother doing another interview with you.</p>

<p>I just snooped something out from 2007 CC board about Yale on-campus interviews:</p>

<p>“My friend had an on-campus interview, and she was contacted for an alum interview a few days ago. Nobody has contacted me yet.”</p>

<p>And also similarly:
"I had an on-campus interview in the summer, and someone contacted me about an alum interview like a couple of weeks ago… "</p>

<p>(From here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/yale-university/416685-does-campus-interview-means-no-alumni-interview.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/yale-university/416685-does-campus-interview-means-no-alumni-interview.html&lt;/a&gt;)</p>

<p>Ah, OK. But someone also mentioned that students who’ve already had interviews will be given less priority, which makes sense to me. That is why I said that alumni probably will not bother doing another interview. </p>

<p>Also, it’s possible that that alum sent a mass e-mail to a bunch of people in the area. I couldn’t tell from the posts.</p>
