<p>My son received his Hunt envelop on Saturday and he is one of the finalist. Just wondering what are they supposed to wear to the dinners Thursday night, and then Friday for the interviewsâŠâŠ</p>
<p>For the interviews, the students all wore business dress. For boys, this meant dress pants, dress shirt and a tie at a minimum. Many boys wore a sports coat or suit and I think your son would be most comfortable in this attire. He can always take off a coat if things have gotten less dressy over the past two years but you donât want him feeling inadequate if everyone else is more dressed up than he. Thursday night was not quite as dressy but my daughter still wore what I would call business casual.</p>

<p>I just saw a calendar that shows scholarship weekend interviews on March 20 and 21. The alternate interview weekend is scheduled March 13 and 14.</p>
<p>Hello! Do parents attend the functions for interview day? I know some there are specific student and parent parts, but for the majority of activities, do parents join? Wondering if it would be ok for a finalist to attend all of these without a parent. Please let me know thoughts in this - Thank you so much!</p>
Yes, the parents attend activities the entire time. There are times that you will be at separate events such as when the students are at a student forum and the parents are at a concurrent parent forum. However, you ARE NOT invited to the interview. There were a very few students there without a parent but they seemed fine. However, if your student would find your presence supportive, I encourage you to attend. There is quite a bit of information to digest and it was helpful to divide and conquer some fo the choices of informational sessions. You will also be seated with your student at all of the formal meals and I felt like it made that more comfortable for my daughter ( plus, it allowed me to whisper âjust cut it up and push it around your plateâ for items that she didnât want to eat!) You should plan to be a passive observer and let your child do the vast majority of the interacting. Your job is to soak up information, ask your student questions or share information gained later as to things they might want to consider, and be there for quiet support and encouragement. However, if this is a hardship for you to attend, your student wonât be the only one and that small group seemed to band together a bit and even receive some encouragement from the parents that were in attendance. I know that I helped a few of them out with simple things like Tylenol or a ride back to the hotel when the bus was going to be inconvenient.
OOps! Just saw that this was from a few years back but I am hopeful that this helps someone in 2016.
Bumping for 2017. Lots of good information.
