<p>I recently got an email about scheduling an interview. The person attached a form that asked for my SAT scores, Rank etc. Did anyone else have to fill out a form for the interview or is it just me. I thought interviews were supposed to be about someone's personality outside of school. oh well</p>
<p>I didn't get a form, but the first things my interviewer asked for were my SAT I, II, and AP scores.</p>
<p>It's for the local alumni publications if you get accepted. They run features on incoming local freshmen and brief descriptions of them.</p>
<p>but dont you think that the interviewer will have a biased opinion about the prospective student if they know the student's test scores and grades?</p>
<p>yea, they will. I've heard that they're not really supposed to ask those questions, but they do have the right to.</p>
<p>My interviewer asked me to bring a copy of my resume (which we went through during the interview) and a copy of my SAT scores (which he didn't look at until the end).</p>
<p>bleh, this is bogus...i mean, my scores are decent, but still....:(</p>
<p>My interviewer asked me. He said it was to confirm the scores or something like that.</p>
<p>As a long-time interviewer, I always get the transcript, SAT scores, guidance counselor letter, EC list, etc. - whatever's in the school's file - before the interview. We are asked to rate candidates in various categories, including "academic", "extra-curricular", "personal" and "overall", and I fail to see how this can be done adequately without knowing the academic record.</p>
<p>Byerly, in my interview I was asked which other universities I had been accepted to. I said Oxford. Would this be a good enough indicator of academics? I wasn't asked any scores.</p>
<p>I am an alumni interviewer for Harvard. We only get name, high school, address, e-mail, phone number, whether the students' parents attended Harvard, and if the student indicated their race, possible field of concentration and up to 3 ECs.</p>
<p>Harvard has asked alumni interviewers to ask students for their scores and class ranks. I think that Harvard asks to make sure that Harvard has the most up to date info and to also make sure the interviewers have some facts in hand when they rate applicants on how they stand academically, one of the things that interviewers have to do on the forms we fill out.</p>
<p>Harvard suggests that interviewrs ask the SAT, etc. questions toward the end of the interview so that applicants don't get the erroneous idea that the stats are the most important thing about the interview.</p>
<p>that's why we get them in advance from the schools, so we don't have to grill the candidates about them. I just check to make sure we have the latest scores, did the kid also take the ACT, are there any new AP scores, etc.</p>
<p>I just had my interview today. My interviewer had asked me to prepare a resume and bring my test scores. I ended up just putting my scores on the resume and that was fine. He looked at them first, but didn't make a big deal about them except say they were good. The interview focused on my interests.</p>
<p>One of my interviewers refused to look at my resume, then another one asked me to bring a copy of my whole app.</p>
