Does the interviewer have access to the candidates essays and resume prior to the scheduled interview?
Oh ok...if an alum or student is interviewing you, then the interviewer will have no access to the candidates application. However, they will have a copy of your resume. They might get this from the interview scheduling system or they may ask you directly for it.
If a member of the adcom interviews you, then they will definitely have full access to your application and resume. In fact, in that case, be prepared for a lot of cross-questioning from your application.
