[quote=Anonymous]As a mother of a young man who recently interviewed at SWW, I must say that it was by far the worst interview that I had ever experienced. The two teachers attempted to be as unpleasant and as intimidating as they could. They did not seem to be remotely interested in my son but rather asked some random questions that I did not feel like helped them to assess what type of student he would be. The students appeared to be very uninterested. The entire team was quite impersonable.

As a seasoned interviewee, I did my best to sell my son's highlights as most of us are trained to do in an interview setting. However, after reading the student's comments on this forum, I am guessing that my son was not accepted because we came across as "too full of ourselves". I attempted to highlight his academic achievements as well as discuss my own personal commitment to his education.

Quite honestly, I am blown away that my son was not accepted for admission and I am at a loss for words about this whole process. It has seriously made me rethink not only SWW but DCPS as a whole in that they would allow this type of insane process to occur. My child was also accepted at Gonzaga and St. Johns and we did not experience this at either one of those expensive private schools.
