[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoever said this about the SWW interview process nailed it:

“The purpose of this is not to get a meaningful, predictive metric. Obviously. If it were, everyone would get the same questions, there would be training for graders, extremely clear rating rubrics, testing to make sure everyone is on the same page about what should get a good score.”

I still can’t believe that they are having current kids RATE prospective kids in the interview, and it matters for the outcome. And apparently no/little training of those kid interviewers?? If a 10th grade girl thinks most boys are icky, and rates them lower, oh well!!!! Them’s the breaks!!!!!  (oh but all Walls students are geniuses so we should all implicitly trust their judgement)

It's far worse than that...more likely, the 10th grade girl (who is supposed to help determine "fit" of the interviewee) thinks the interviewee is a little nerdy and therefore a poor fit. Or the 10th grade girl is friends with the interviewee's older sister and- what do you know- the interviewee is a perfect fit for the school![/quote]
