[quote=Anonymous]I think everyone is reading too much into their interviews and the enthusiasm of the person doing the interview. They have a list of items to cover and it's just one piece of the process.

We had a perfectly dull interview at a school where our DC was accepted. The person seemed to care only about talking about themselves and about the school and then when asking questions of our child, loading them with statements filled with assumptions about our child that were not on target  (it was joint parent/student interview). We had to help out our child in speaking up so they could dispell the interviewer of their assumptions.

Anyway - it sounds like sour grapes when you point at a specific identifiable person and trash their interest in you at an interview. There are loads of reasons why your child may not be given an offer to a highly selective school - that's just the way it goes when there are so many applications for so few spots.

Get used to it. College admissions is much worse. [/quote]
