Interviews tend to favor wealthy, white applicants. Who do you think is going to leave a better impression on the interviewer: someone from an upper class family that has been coached in manners most of their life, knows what to wear, and has practiced these interviews? Or someone from a very different cultural background?
Furthermore, the Harvard case has also demonstrated that interviews are used as a tool to suppress the chances of Asian applicants. While it may seem cold to reduce candidates to their applications, if the goal is to provide a consistent admissions process interviews are not a good choice.
