[quote=Anonymous]To OP, I think best thing for your kid is to relax, treat it as a conversation where you can also find out more about the school. The alumni may be a good mirror of the school culture. For the top schools, many don't think that the interview matters much, as long as you don't completely bomb it. The broad consensus is that it is more for alumni engagement than a serious evaluation of the candidate. Looking at youtube, where students talk about their FERPA requests to access their file, I don't recall interviews coming up at all as a factor. My kid prepared by writing on 1-2 index cards their story, their dreams, their challenges and practicing in front of a mirror. A dry run using zoom with parents, lighting, the actual room etc was also helpful. We did not listen in on the actual interview of course - that would just raise anxiety levels unnecessarily - we actually purposely left the house for a walk each time. Good luck![/quote]
