[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear Ivy Interviewer: It seems to most of us that what you've told is more a commentary about yourself and your own quirks than it is about the kids you interview.[/quote] Dear Critic: If you want to be involved in deciding whom a particular Ivy League school should admit, you need to earn an undergrad degree from said institution and volunteer to interview. Elite schools can't admit every BASIS grad, no matter how much the boosters might wish it. An alum is given a report form asking questions like "did you enjoy talking to this applicant?" "did the applicant display intellectual curiosity and promise? If yes, please provide examples." You do what you can to answer honestly and leave it at that. Even when you plug for an applicant, rejection is usually the outcome. I interview for Harvard, and "we" take no more than 7% of those who apply. And yes, I have a STEM background, in chemical engineering. [/quote]
