[quote=Anonymous]We had one interview before submitting the essays, and the interviewer asked some of the same questions that I now know are part of the application. The interviewer took notes, and the interview was fairly lengthy. I feel like I'm being tested on my writing vs verbal skills, e.g., can these people write as well as they speak?

For another school, we submitted our responses to the essays before the interview because the school stressed the importance of doing so. The essays for this school were much more straightforward "tell us about your child's strengths and weaknesses" type questions. It was clear, however, that the people interviewing us had not read what we/our DC had written.

This process is more stressful than older DC's college process because it requires our involvement and we are geographically limited in a way that we were not with our older child. And with the college option to apply ED and EA, we had an answer before the end of the year; with these HS applications, we won't know until March. [/quote]
