Interview

<p>I am really good at debate, I send the debate coaches my interest in November but they didn't reply yet, since my interview starts tomorrow should I e-mail the admission office asking for meeting the debate coaches during my interview? Is there any other ways I can reach them when I come to the campus?</p>

<p>Do you guys make up the homework before the interview or after?</p>

<p>Do we know our interviewers' names before the interview?</p>

<p>If you are meeting on campus you will probably not know who is interviewing you before you arrive. Of the 10 visits we did, no one sent us that info in advance and I know that in at least 2 cases, the interviewer changed the morning of the interview (one was because they had my son as a girl...and the other because 2 families had arrived VERY early for their interview and they were trying to accomodate them).<br>
I would **call **the admissions office and ask if there is any way you can meet with the debate coach/advisor while you are there.</p>

<p>I just finished two interviews today, they were mediocre.<br>
Does admission officer usually call you before your interview? Because I have friend told me his interviews' called him before the interview, but I haven't received call for my todays' interview and either tomorrow's.
Is it possible for me to call the school I will be meeting tomorrow to ask about meeting the debate and swim coaches at tomorrow morning?</p>

<p>That's a very good idea...and would be an even better one if you had done it sooner, when somebody was at the school and schedules were malleable.</p>

<p>Tell me something, how does an interviewer let you know gently that
the interview went wrong, I have been always curious, like, when they say goodbye, do they say good luck?</p>

<p>No one ever called us before the interview. We did get a few (not all) postcards confirming the visit, but no calls. </p>

<p>Multitasker - I'm not sure how they would tell you, but I do know that the one school that my son did not feel at all connected to after the tour, the interviewer still told us (parents) some very good things about him - the positives at the interview. He did not, however, say he thought our son would do well there. I'm sure my son was uncomfortable in the interview and it wasn't his best, and his answers probably told this admissions rep the school wasn't a good fit.</p>

<p>Thank you , Linda S
I was just wondering if they tell you something like, well, I wish you well, nice suit you're wearing, or, wow, I can't wait to see you next year in our school!</p>

<p>Based on my experience with three kids who went through the app experience, you must resist the temptaion to read too much into what interviewers say or don't say. Keep in mind, they are people like you and me. They therefore bring their own personality and everything that goes along with it to the interview. In the end, even they are just one member of a committee who will be making the decision. Go for the visits and interviews, then try not to fixate on this whole thing. March will be here before you know it and then you will know the one thing that really matters. Then the really hard part comes... deciding where you will attend HS.</p>
