I have interviewed for my HPY for about 28 years. The local admissions
Rep responsible  for the area knows most of the long term Alumni
Interviewers. Admissions often calls with follow up questions and kids regularly get admitted.

I am not a recent grad but I am the parent of a recent grad so I am relatively up to date. I don’t think skipping an interview or opting out is an option. Those kids are automatic rejects, at least at my HPY. If the alumni interview seems off base admissions will follow up or offer another interview. [/quote]

What qualifications do you possess to identify, evaluate and assess a 17/18 year old in approximately 30 min? Do you have a Psych degree or background in behavior assessment. Perhaps admissions strategies for assessing talent, ambition or potential.

Im going to be you have none of these and therefore are entirely unqualified to determine the fate of someone who spent years with teachers and a school that already provides a full picture.

This is an outdated practice and should go away. You arent qualified to assess these candidates.[/quote]

Sorry your kid got dinged and you blame the interviewer for that.[/quote]

DC is at one of the following: HYPMS.  Good try. Its just a silly outdated practice. Alumni arent qualified to assess a high school senior. Tell me otherwise and what gives them this ability?[/quote]
