Does Dartmouth offer interviews to all applicants?
I'm in the process of applying to Dartmouth and just realized I haven't heard anything about an interview opportunity yet. Some of my friends who applied to other Ivies say they got emails about scheduling interviews, but I haven't received anything from Dartmouth so far.
Does anyone know if Dartmouth interviews everyone who applies, or is it only a select group? I'm starting to worry that not getting an interview means something negative about my application. Maybe it's just based on availability of alumni in your area, but I honestly can't tell and couldn't find a clear answer online. Would love to hear from others who have applied or know how this works!

Dartmouth does not guarantee interviews to every applicant, so if you haven’t been contacted for one, it does not reflect negatively on your application at all. Interviews at Dartmouth are typically conducted by alumni volunteers, and whether you’re offered one depends mainly on the availability of alumni in your area.
If there aren’t enough alumni nearby, you might not get an interview request, and that has no impact on how your application is reviewed. The admissions committee even notes on their official website that interview availability is not factored into admission decisions, so you’re not at a disadvantage if you don’t get the chance.
