[quote=Anonymous]My DC is a sophomore. The interview was not that bad. She had her prepared list in her head of the 5 or 6 things she wanted to mentioned and worked them into the conversation. One of the hard parts is actually the timing. The student interview is 10 minutes. The parent interview is 5 minutes. So the kid needs be bold and walk into the room, introduce themselves, sit down and get started. Otherwise, the kid waste the first few minutes of their interview. A typical question is what is your favorite book and why. Tell me about what you do outside of school and how that will fit into your high school career. There will be a question about post high school. I think my DC was asked why she thought she SWW would be a good fit. The student needs to articulate his organizational skills, ability to work in group projects (tons of these at SWW), independent to meet expectations without coddling from teachers etc.[/quote]
