[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got an email a few days for a family interview for CAMP. Anyone who has been through it- would love to hear how it went/ what to expect. [/quote]

Anyone with insight on the above? Much appreciated! (we've been homeschooling until now so the process is new to us)[/quote]

Hello.  We had our family interview this week, and it's fair to say that the only way to know the final decision is through the lottery when the results are posted on March 29th.  The interview really is the last phase of the process where yes, there's a bit of a dive into grades, favorite and least favorite subjects, recommendations, and also the expectations of the student and family.  There's lots of autonomy and freedom at DESA, so the committee is curious about whether or not the child has good time management skills and the ability to balance the demands of their academic subjects and their departmental requirements.  They s want to make sure that the family is aware of the long school hours, the expectations of the particular department, and they open it up to any questions the family may have. It's really an opportunity to share anything that the application may not have been able to highlight, and is quite comfortable and not at all something that feels stressful or intimidating.
