[quote=Anonymous]I teach plenty of kids at an application HS who did not have us as first choice. Many/most of them wind up having a great experience even when they were disappointed at first. Rank by preference but in an interview make sure the kid can explain why they want to attend even if it is not their first choice. I’ve been in interviews where a kid explicitly says, “I’m applying to all application schools and you are not my first choice.” That honesty is not helpful in an interview unless the kid is trying not to get in. Be sure they know something about what differentiates the school they are interviewing at from the others and can speak toward why they want to come there beyond my parents think it is a good school or my counselor thinks I have the grades to get in.
