Hi guys. Don't panic. Many of you have written to me asking questions about requesting alumni interviews. Here are some answers:
You have probably not received an acknowledgment of your request, or been contacted by an alum, because we only started matching these requests at the end of this last week. Requests that have already been submitted were collected by our database, and we started releasing these requests to alumni only just recently.
You do not need to make multiple requests.
It may take some time for alumni to process your requests and contact you about scheduling an interview date and time. We receive a large volume of requests, and our alums are volunteers who are juggling a number of different obligations. Please be patient.
Your alumni interview may take place after the Early Action deadline, and we will receive the report in plenty of time to evaluate it as part of your application and render a decision in enough time. Do not worry if your interview takes place after November 1.
Finally, it is not always possible for us to match all requests for alumni interviews, though we do our best in all cases to do so.
