[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the interviewers needed to take unconscious bias training [/quote]

My kid is one of the interviewers and was required to participate in unconscious bias training before signing up for interviewer slots.

They and their friends who are doing this are all taking the job very seriously. I've heard no conversations about looks, but have heard them talking about thoughtful questions and wanting to do their part to contribute to building a solid cohort of students for the incoming grade.

Yes, it's basically a lottery of 4.0 kids, but it really does a disservice to these students to continue painting the process as some sort of beauty pageant. [/quote]

Look, I don't think there is a lot of merit to the allegations of selection based on looks/beauty pageant. But if it IS just a lottery of 4.0 kids (and I agree it is), they should get rid of the interview. The way the interview is "weighted" in the process opens the entire process up to scrutiny vs. just saying, all kids in DC with a 4.0 who apply to SWW are entered in a lottery for the available spots.[/quote]
