Beware of Post-Interview Impressions

Or, perhaps it didn't matter at all

I remember participating in a group interview situation where everyone got together and discussed about half a dozen candidates. Several of us gave very high ratings to one particular candidate and I thought he would get an offer for sure. But the highest ranking member of the group (Chief Engineer) found out that a different candidate was from his alma mater. The alma mater candidate got the offer and the job.
