With a less conservative cut point of 11, there was no significant effect of interview admission.
These analyses showed that also with a more conservative cut point of 9, the effect of interview admission in reducing underperformers was significant, and even more pronounced.
For a cut point of 11, which is very close to "satisfactory" performance in all categories (12 points) the effect of interview admission was not significant (OR 0.65, CI95 0.34-1.22, p = 0.175) whereas sex was, (0.39, CI95 0.21-0.74, p = 0.004).
A logistic regression on "superior performers" (communication score above 14), showed no significant effects by interview admission path (OR 0.75, CI95 0.34-1.67), age (OR 1.02, CI95 0.93-1.13) or sex (OR 0.57, CI95 0.24-1.32).
We performed two further analyses; first controlling for examination hospital, which did not affect the model; second, controlling for delay, which did not change the effect of interview admission, but eliminated the effect of sex.
The results held for cut point 9, where the effect was more pronounced for interview admission (OR 0.20, CI95 0.05-0.80, p = 0.023), but where neither sex, nor age were significant.
In interviews, admissions officers at Rice, Stanford, Emory and Carleton, as well as other highly selective colleges and universities, said they were grappling with the imperative to give students greater freedom to describe their backgrounds while also being on the lookout for manipulation by those seeking to stretch their ties to particular races or ethnicities.

In an interview, an admissions official at Nanjing University, who would give only his surname, Zhao, defended the decision to reject Ms. Liu, saying she had been turned down because her score -- 594 -- was one point below last year's cutoff.
