[quote=Anonymous][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]

I don’t think we or my dc know how to “have perfectly executed manners”  but we will do our best to be polite and natural. Thanks for taking time to answer so thoughtfully! 😀[/quote]
