[quote=Anonymous][quote]Hard to say, because you have no idea what my background on this subject is.

Alum interviewers talk to applicants and then prepare a report that they send to the college admissions office. That is the extent of their input into the admissions process. The admissions office then can use that input as they see fit. The alum interviewer is not making admissions decisions. The school hopes that the alum interviewer will act as an ambassador for the school, answering questions the student might have and giving the student some insight into the school and what it is like to be a student there.[/quote]

Thanks for the talking points.

At least you are finally beginning to understand it does matter to Colleges that students take challenging and rigorous courses.  Participating in AAP with like peers is simply one step towards staying on in a track towards this ultimate downstream outcome.  Of course, this is no guarantee but for many it is far preferable to begin the process of a challenging curriculum early in the educational process.  That's my preference for my own children so I can understand why other parents would prefer the same for their children and begin teach early in life the importance of working hard in school.[/quote]
