<p>Tomorrow I have an early morning interview at Hotchkiss and an afternoon interview at Taft. Has anyone already interviewed? What kinds of questions do they ask? Also, what should I expect experience-wise?</p>
<p>FYI and caveat to all: I’d be cautious about stating publicly exactly when your interview is/was…just in case an admissions officer is lurking.</p>
<p>Here is a suggestion: don’t tell either school that you are interviewing with the other, to extend you possibly can. It is none of their business. These two schools are rivals on many fronts, as I assume you well know. They push and shove enough. I don’t think that they need to know that they could be pushing and shoving over you. They just might think that you are not worth a fight. If so, then neither will make you an offer.</p>
<p>Mum’s the word.</p>
<p>Good advice from Toombs. You can simply say, if asked which other schools you are applying to, that it is early in the process and you haven’t decided for sure.</p>
<p>I can tell you that they always ask both child and parent (separately) where else you are applying. I have scheduled our tours/interviews in such a way that my D can answer honestly, and not give away info I would rather that particular school not have. If you haven’t visited a school yet, you are certainly not sure you will be applying - therefore you can tell the school you are currently interviewing with only the names of the schools that you KNOW you are applying to.</p>
