My kids had their interviews today. One had a great time and the other one had a REALLY bad experience. To start off, the interviewer did not even bother to introduce himself. Then he proceeded to flat out saying my kid's answers were not "right". For example, he asked "tell me about yourself", after my kid did so, he said "that's not the right answer, I was looking for something about your background and family". Hmm ... why didn't he just asked that? This just went on and on for the entire interview. At one point, he even told my kid that Harvard is not a good college to go for engineering.
My kid said the interviewer just acted like he did not want to be there at all from the very beginning and answering his questions was like taking a test -- every answer was actually being graded (wrong, wrong, and more wrong).
I read some old posts that Harvard actually ranked the applicants for their interviews and calculated into the decision? Is it still true? Can someone verify this for me? If this is still valid, what can we do at this point? Thanks.
