[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The parents attacking the interview process should really evaluate if the Ivy League is appropriate for their student. It seems they might be better off at a large state school where their kids won’t repeatedly be subject to peer, professor and club reviews. At my HPY school almost every activity, academic organization or club had a trail or interview by the organizations membership... Mostly “unqualified students” and sometimes faculty.... It’s very difficult to change tradition so be sure that you have your eyes wide open about the environment. As to Mr 3 years it is arrogant and shows a lack of curiosity of learning which is pretty much against the mission. Why not give the spot to someone who wants to absorb as much as possible and create something great. 3 years can go to trade school. [/quote]

Be serious.  For every Brett Kavanaugh conducting an interview there is a young  Christine Blassy Ford being interviewed. The possibilities for a terrible interview mismatch rare not that remote.  The ivy league is not some paragon of i virtue.  It is difficult to change traditions including that crappy traditions.  Get real.[/quote]

Your entitlement is showing. It’s their school and system. My kids had crappy and great interviewers but I never thought entitled to trash the whole system. Wow!  Anyway you are suppose to do it in a public place with people around so that is not really an issue. (Library, Starbucks ... a place a kid would normally go). But really just tell your kid not to apply and you will have protected them from “unqualified” interviewers. At graduation you can laugh at the suckers going Ivy that interviewed. [/quote]

Yeah. Makes total sense. Let’s never question the establishment. That’s led to great things. Thank you Mr. Republican. [/quote]

You are really irrational. Not a Republican and not a man. But please continue in your full on rage against alumni. You do realize that without interviews it might be significantly harder for Big 3 kids to get in... no APs, no awards and unless they do travel low level sports except maybe crew, Ice Hockey and squash.  It seems like your anger is misplaced. I am sorry senior year has not gone as planned. It’s very tough. [/quote]

You have no business interviewing MINORS. Just because you graudated from a top school doesnt make you qualified. Self justification is embarrassing.[/quote]

Qualified? To do what? Interview 17-18 year old kids at Starbucks to tick off a box? What exactly are you afraid of?  [/quote]

That a biased self important graduate could derail a child for no reason.[/quote]
