Alumni Interview - what are the norms?

<p>The HS DD attends is a top HS in the nation. There are so many kids applying to the same elite schools. One of them actually set up an interview day at HS. There were 6 interviewers plus one adminstrator. The interviwer does have a piece of paper about student for each of the students. </p>

<p>DD was very sick the first round and barely made 15 minutes bedore calling it quit. She signed up and they got her the second time with a different interviewer. They talked so well that DD got out with a big smile. </p>

<p>DD said they focued on what is the fit: why she like the school and what does school have to offer her. Since DD did an extensive research on one of their top programs, she has alot to talk about. The interviewer’s roommate was in the same program. At the end, the Interviewer told her the match is almost perfect. </p>

<p>That is what bring me the question. It may be just the idea of the interviewer but does not represent that of the adcom office.</p>
