Interviews are too judgemental Interviews have their problems, for sure, but so does a memorized 500 word essay. Trained and disciplined interviewers can look at how the candidate articulates the answer to the essay question and judge both language skills and earnestness. Interviews can also weed out those who obviously don't have the interpersonal skills needed for success. I wouldn't use the interview as the primary screening tool, only for the final cut. Perhaps where we are disagreeing is that, if you have 500 places in your freshman class, you want the 500 smartest kids. I'd rather have the 500 most promising, interesting, and well rounded from among the 600 smartest kids. Yes, that requires that humans discriminate and use their judgment. I agree with you that race, creed, etc. don't matter. Slotting people based on it is both non-productive and dangerous. But I think that looking for that special spark in candidates on an individual basis is a healthy thing to do. Karen
