[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The parents attacking the interview process should really evaluate if the Ivy League is appropriate for their student. It seems they might be better off at a large state school where their kids won’t repeatedly be subject to peer, professor and club reviews. At my HPY school almost every activity, academic organization or club had a trail or interview by the organizations membership... Mostly “unqualified students” and sometimes faculty.... It’s very difficult to change tradition so be sure that you have your eyes wide open about the environment. As to Mr 3 years it is arrogant and shows a lack of curiosity of learning which is pretty much against the mission. Why not give the spot to someone who wants to absorb as much as possible and create something great. 3 years can go to trade school. [/quote]

Be serious.  For every Brett Kavanaugh conducting an interview there is a young  Christine Blassy Ford being interviewed. The possibilities for a terrible interview mismatch rare not that remote.  The ivy league is not some paragon of i virtue.  It is difficult to change traditions including that crappy traditions.  Get real.[/quote]

Your entitlement is showing. It’s their school and system. My kids had crappy and great interviewers but I never thought entitled to trash the whole system. Wow!  Anyway you are suppose to do it in a public place with people around so that is not really an issue. (Library, Starbucks ... a place a kid would normally go). But really just tell your kid not to apply and you will have protected them from “unqualified” interviewers. At graduation you can laugh at the suckers going Ivy that interviewed. [/quote]
