Does anyone else interview kids for their college? I'm one of the local alumni volunteers for my small liberal arts college, and I do about three or four interviews a year. I generally assume that the admissions office will vet the academics and other qualifications, so I usually spend the interview trying to figure out whether or not this is a kid I'd want to be stuck in a dorm with my freshman year of college.

I always thought EA was to reduce the stress on not having to apply to a bunch of other schools you'd rather not go to.
Harvard interviews as well. My old roommate does interviews for the LA area. I think I may have been asked to do them at some point, but most of the candidates are dweebs so it would depress me (can't weed out to zero).
