[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid struck Swarthmore off his list after a poor interview situation. From the scheduling to the no-show, to the difficulty in getting rescheduled, to the utterly snotty attitude of the alum during the interview, DS was turned off. That alum is like a one-woman recruiting wrecking ball for her alma mater. [/quote]

This is such an important point. My kid had a fantastic experience with an interview that only made her more excited about the school. Some schools include info from them, but for all schools, they are marketing. [/quote]

PP here. Totally agree. I don’t even blame the interviewer—she seemed like a lost cause. I think Swarthmore is at fault for choosing bad interviewers or for not training for guiding them or holding them accountable. In my kid’s case, Swarthmore was a top 3 choice, and kid loved the vibe and nerdy emails and other marketing. In any event, he was accepted the next week to his ED choice, a top 10 college. Swarthmore obviously spends a ton on marketing it’s quirky vibe. It may not even realize that it’s losing kids based on rude and weirdly aggressive interviewers. [/quote]
