[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got our time slot too this morning for 3/1. They ask that parents and child be in different rooms for the interview - does anyone know if they are doing them one after the other or at the same time? When it was in-person, I recall the child went first and then the parents.[/quote]

One after the other. Parents click the invite link and wait for the interviewers to finish with DC and join them.

TBH, our 3 interviewers looked pretty bored and gave little feedback. No, we weren't that boring ;)[/quote]

Us too...child asked three questions (took about 5 minutes), parents asked one question.  Whole thing done in about 7-8 minutes.   I read on another one of these DCUM threads that the interviews count for MUCH more than (like, 5-6 times as much as) GPA...hard to figure out what of value they could have gotten out of such a short amount of time. Have others heard the same?[/quote]

I haven't heard that.  I don't think it's been specified.  It's insane to base anything off 5 minutes.[/quote]

That's what they said at the open house in December: Each child will be scored out of 36 points. Five of those points are for GPA. The other 31 come from the interview.

It would probably be more fair (as another poster said)--and certainly a lot less stressful for the kids--if they just did a lottery of the top kids by GPA.[/quote]
