[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the most part, the parent interviews seem to be them trying to convince you how great the school is. It may be a way to increase yield from among accepted students.[/quote] This has not been the case for us - applying for HS to mostly highly selective schools and some backups too. In all cases they wanted to know what we liked about our child, what our child was passionate about, what we wanted for our child in a HS, why we liked their school for our child, and whether they had any special needs. There was zero "sell". They were all thoughtful interviews and seemed on target for what an admissions committee would want to know. They are triangulating - getting this info from kid, from parent, from school. [/quote] This was our experience for HS interviews last year, as well. [/quote]
