[quote=Anonymous]Interesting discussion!  My 100% unhooked daughter had a few last year.  She felt Dartmouth went terribly (unengaging woman in her mid-20s) -- rejected.  Georgetown went great (guy in his late 20s; they had tons to talk about) -- rejected.  Cornell went great (man in his early 80s) -- admitted.  Columbia (for one of the dual BA programs) went terribly (professor/alum who was quite antagonistic and challenging [I heard it from the next room]) -- admitted.  It's all a bit of a crapshoot!

I was an alumni interview for Vanderbilt over three years, just prior to Covid.  1) They didn't give me any info about the kids; the first I heard of them was when they contacted me via email.  2) We were asked to complete quite a detailed questionnaire about each kid.  3) I did about 20 interviews total, I found almost all of them really impressive except the one who told me Vanderbilt was her safety (not any more, sweetie).  4) They sent me an annual summary of the kids' outcomes; only one ever got in and she got some crazy kind of scholarship.[/quote]
