[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interviews are practically worthless.....they can't help but they could definitely hurt.[/quote] Your source/evidence for this? FWIW, my DCs have applied to schools with and without interviews. In some cases, the interviews were helpful in clarifying the DC's interest in the school--one kid was very put off by the officious style of the interviewer; another interviewer asked questions that DC felt were bordering on inappropriate. DC18 asked for an interview with a prestigious SLAC where chances for admission were slim--DC was accepted based on feedback from interviewer that DC was a 'perfect fit.' So, interviews can help in some instances. But all interviews are not created equal. Some colleges just do a pro-forma; best to have your DC check with their admissions officer to find out how the interview is weighted in the process.[/quote]
