Sorry folks. Just got back from a lovely week in Orlando with my dear D and 3 of her fabulous suitemates. Took a vacay from CC too. Now I am back in cold DC and they are in New Haven where they have traded bathing suits and flip flops for coats and boots.
I will go back to read this article but from what I can see from the posts - this guy seems to be a jerk. However, Harvard does its interviews differently than Yale. We never see transcripts, grades or even ask for a resume. It is a conversation with the applicant and we send our impressions to the Committee. We rate them on a scale, but it is not my place to say admit or deny admission. My write up goes into the mix with everything else. And, I would never consider myself to be a member of the Admissions staff, how presumptuous. I may repost more thoughts once I actually read the article.
Like all of you, I am just waiting to see the fate of the four wonderful kids I interviewed. Good luck to all.
