[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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)

This is blatantly unfactual, but it would take a while to explain the history and current process.  Maybe after the interviews are over I'll repost here to give an explanation.  It's only fair for all students to go in cold and have the same experience.  Good luck to all that got invitations for interviews, best of luck to those that didn't. [/quote]

Why would having a detailed rubric with examples of how responses should get scored and assessing student interviewers' ability to reliably grade mean that students wouldn't have the same experience? [/quote]

I'm not PP, but I think it's pretty clear that if PP posted that information, the kids who have yet to interview AND have family members reading this board would have an advantage over all the rest of the kids.

PP, I for one would like to read what you have to say after the interview process is over! [/quote]
