@CAClover Just to chime in on the Skype experience, AppleKid’s first interview was via Skype and it was def awkward, but the kid received an offer of admission from that school. In hindsight DC would probably have felt more comfortable with the Skype interview if it had been done after at least one or two of the in-person interviews. Or maybe you can simulate a Skype interview for practice–DC just found it really odd to be talking with a stranger on a screen. It didn’t help that all he could see of the interviewer was the top third of the face. I wonder if it would have been bad form for the kid to have asked the interviewer to adjust the camera?? :-S
