[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any correlation between great interviews/student visits and acceptance? Or do I assume that interviewers are trained to be professional and congenial and not put any weight on that?

Thanks if you have BTDT and can weigh in![/quote]

Yes and any tips (apart from not acting crazy)? Any topics to avoid at all costs? What topics are safest?[/quote]

This is for HS, right?

I'd say your kid's basic personality and social skills are already pretty well formed, but maybe if you want to help them send them for a practice interview. You know that's a thing, right?

Basics:

** let the Interviewer from the school set the tone, but be gracious and enthusiastic in their response. You know, the usual: reflect back, " that's a great question" , be humble, earnest and clearly bright but self deprecating

* show appreciation for others, including other's point of view especially the interviewers while also showing that you are of your own mind- at least a developing one

* have perfectly executed manners and make sure they seem natural[/quote]

Thanks - this is great ! [/quote]
