[quote=Anonymous]In my day I had a number of alumni interviews and all were at the homes of the interviewers.

My mother waited in the car outside.

Let's put it this way, I had confidence that the Ivy/SLAC alum wasn't going to attack me, bind me up and stuff me in the closet and do all sorts of nasty things to me.... the very thought never even occurred to me. A real shame that it's a sign of our time when we can no longer trust people.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also stopped doing interviews for my Ivy because it seemed like a waste of time (also, while I understand why the school advised us to no longer interview in our homes, it's actually a PITA to find a public location that is private enough to have a conversation in winter).  [/quote]My daughter recently had an interview at Starbucks which went well (according to her).

I would never allow my daughter to interview in the home of a stranger.  Why would anyone trust you or someone they don't know to meet in your private home?  DD's Ivy recommended a public meeting place for everyone's comfort.  Too bad you think it's a PITA because a kid doesn't want to come to your private home.  Smart kids.[/quote][/quote]
