[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m interviewing an applicant tomorrow night. I had no idea it was such a divisive issue. Jeez. I was just trying to pitch in for a school that I love. [/quote] Our course 9 out of 10 parents would say it isn't divisive. Someone is just really stressed because her kid didn't 'connect' with the interviewer, who was over the age of 30. DCUM brings out the worst in people, and IMO parents of seniors in this area are WAY too fixated on where their children go to college and making sure it's prestigious enough. My DC did several alumni interviews last fall and learned something from each. The alums ranged in age, from a person who graduated 3 years ago to one who graduated 30 years ago. Even if the interviews didn't help (or perhaps hurt) any of his apps, having to make conversations with strangers of all ages and backgrounds is a good skill to practice. [/quote]
