@Kristin_White , thank you for that! Interviewers who are good at their jobs like kids and want to see them at their best, so yes, people often come away feeling great about the interaction. They serves them well as their job, in addition to getting a sense of the student, is to get the interviewee to like the school enough to submit an application.
At some point, could you talk a little bit about reclassing and how to bring that up in an interview and decide if it’s a good option for you at a given school? That seems to be a big topic here.
