[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for this thread. DD was contacted too. She submitted a Glimpse video so she's surprised to also have an interview. Honestly, I don't know how they process 6,000+ applications in 6 weeks. [/quote]

See above. Pretty much all ED get interviews. I know a kid who already did theirs. Rumor has it that it is an alumni engagement exercise and means very little except to flag sociopaths.

I'm an interviewer and can draw no trends as to who has gotten in and who hasn't, but I am not privy to what their grades, test scores, etc. are so my response to their interview is a tiny portion of the overall package. I have been pleasantly surprised that a few very down-to-earth, kind, normal kids who didn't seem super packaged got in in recent years. I am so tired of interviewing kids whose whole life has been curated, and I tend to root against them.

I also don't know how they do it while having qualified admissions officers giving applications a full read in the very limited time available[/quote]
