[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any college interviewer who can be fooled by a few hours of prep shouldn't be doing the job. Teaching a child to be a socially adept young adult is a long process and you can't "cram" for charisma. [/quote] A true college interviewer yes. But most of these are done by alum volunteers who don't have the breadth of experience, see a few kids a year, and may come to the interview with biases. It's not about charisma necessarily, it's about having some experience answering an off the wall question, sounding sincere in asking the interviewer questions, knowing how to pace your responses, knowing how the get in the key points you want to make. People practice for presentations, speeches, debates, interviews all the time in their professional life. Isn't this important enough to practice for? My second kid was a natural at these but even he did better on the 8th one than the first one. [/quote]
