[quote=Anonymous]SLAC interviewer - our emphasis, per the admissions office, should be to (1) evaluate the candidate's ability to be successful (and give meaningful examples of why/why not) on a more subjective/personality basis than the objectiveness of the application allows, (2) provide the candidate an opportunity to further highlight and/or explain a part of their application (and give them a chance to explain away an extenuating circumstance), and (3) at the end, meet with any other family members and answer any questions etc on an informal basis. The parents almost always are interested in some aspect of the school that the candidate never mentions, but it's important for the family to be supportive of the candidate and we try to make them as comfortable and positive about their child's choice to apply. My "personal" acceptance rate is almost identical to the overall acceptance rate.[/quote]
