[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do like a funny Ivy interviewer.

As another Ivy interviewer I think you are waaaayyyy off.   My take usually is that the mediocre children from the privates tend to think they should get in based on their private and/or parent connection.  This is just the next step in their predicted life.  I like interviewing the DCPS kids.  I am always amazed at what they bring to the table.  Many have been in the trenches (along with their parents) and it is amazing how resourceful they can be.  It is nice to interview the kid who hasn't done language immersion or CTY camps.  I can name the kids I have given high recommendations to from DCPS.  The ones from the privates, of which there are more, I can't even remember.

Princeton interviewer.  Don't get me wrong, I like and admire most of the DCPS kids I interview (or did, before I quit).  I've given many high recommendations myself.  I've even called the admissions office asking them to help various promising FARMs kids afford to visit NJ and sometimes got help to bus them up.  They just don't get in, other than maybe one in two dozen.  Do yours?
