[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, there is no way a 3-10 minute interview can tell you if a child will be a good fit. There are many shy, quiet kids who would thrive at Walls but may not do was well during the interview. And kids can have bad days and not interview well for a number of reasons. That is why most schools don't heavily weight an interview. Banneker asks for teacher recommendations, GPA and has kids complete a writing sample during the interview. The fact that nobody on this board can say how Walls reached its decisions is telling. Were kids who didn't pass the interview put in a lottery? Were they waitlisted in a particular order? Why did the interviews vary in length and why were some interviews conducted by both teachers and students? [/quote]
