The interviewer is free to interview in pretty much any manner they choose.

Why? Because only one person I interviewed was accepted, and he was a student-athlete who I totally panned in my write-up. I wrote lots of good reviews and handful of glowing reviews. Since my opinion clearly didn't matter, I gave up. Students should be aware how little influence alumni interviewers actually have.
