[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having had a kid at Walls, the interview is an important part of the process. The school wants kids who want to be there, and are motivated to succeed. What makes the school special is the students. Interviews enable the school to ensure they are getting kids who genuinely want to be there and will want to contribute to the community. I am not suggesting that interviews are fool proof, but for the student who would prefer to be somewhere else it is a fine weeding process.[/quote] That may have worked when they were trying to winnow down 200 or so kids who passed the exam to get to the 140 they'd admit. But they now have ~250-300 getting to the interview stage and the same number of seats. The vast majority will state, convincingly, that they want to be there and why. So what are the differentiators between these kids going to be exactly? [/quote]
