[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the prior posters. The main purpose of the interview seems to be to get a feel for the child, not the child's CV or potential aspirations to cure cancer by the age of 17. The interviews we observed and then heard about from our oldest 4 were more opportunities for our children to talk about themselves, their hobbies and activities, life at home, life at school, those types of things. At a few of the interviews the children even discussed some current events and their take on reactions. The interviewers did invariably ask about favorite classes or teachers but not from a grade perspective, mostly a 'what do you think about...' perspective. It is surprising to many people that a 13-14 year old interviewing for a high school, or a 9-10 year old interviewing for middle school, can have a lot of depth and insight. That's what the interviews are about. Not what schools they've attended, the field of study and academic rigmarole.[/quote]
