<p>@ChoatieMom. Did your children interview on campus?</p>
<p>Perhaps I was too strong, but if you look at my previous post (#9) I seriously doubt the alumni interview carries any weight. I doubt the alumni interviewers receive any training, and I doubt they are screened.</p>
<p>I had a terrible experience with my off-campus interviews and providing my views for balance.</p>
<p>There is no question that an on-campus interview is better than off-campus, right? We just may disagree about how much better.</p>
<p>Frankly, I did not fully appreciate how difficult it was to get into boarding school last year when I applied. Applicants should know that they will be competing for precious spots with talented, smart, ambitious students who are doing interviews on campus.</p>
