<p>My S and husband are on a 5 school mega tour right now. He just had his third interview at his favorite school NMH. He is tired and quite cranky based on the conversation we just had on the phone!</p>
<p>Anyway when his Dad asked the interviewer if he could clarify, expand on anything S had said the guy wanted to know if he was passionate about ANYTHING. Well S is clearly passionate about lots of things but apparently didn’t manage to convey that passion.</p>
<p>What would you do?</p>
<p>If your son feels he bombed the interview, in the thank you that he was planning to write 
he should indicate that he has thought about the interviewer’s question and wanted to tell him more about his passions. It’s very important that this be at your son’s impetus and his words. Admissions offices are well skilled at telling what is a child’s concern about an interview and what is a parents’.</p>
<p>I second what sbergman says. I note in his second chance. Also, I often ask admissions officers what to do if a students view of the school or boarding school in general has changed, (ie, an October interview with an undecided kid who would had grown more enthused about boarding school by Dec or Jan(</p>
<p>In all cases, the admissions officers mentioned a note, or even rescheduling and asking a second interview. I’m not sure a second interview would be warranted in this case, but a note would be great.</p>
