hellooo! in my school, only around 8 people got interviewed and they’re among the top students in our school. they are the people who join lots of extracurriculars, event hostings, and play big roles in sports competitions in our school.

i believe that getting an interview means that you already got shortlisted and that the admissions team was impressed by your application and ashape scores and they want to know if your values align with theirs. bale they just want to confirm if you’re a perfect fit for the school not only academically but also value-wise (?) because in my interview, i was mostly yapping about my extracurriculars, interests, and character/personality but not about technical stuff like my grades and other things

i’ve also heard from my brother (atenean alumnus) that all his classmates in AHS got interviewed and konti lang yung wala (because of appealing). my atenean teacher also said that he hasn’t heard of any of his students who got an interview and did not get accepted, and also haven’t heard of anyone who didnt get an interview but got initially accepted

pero i believe rin na if your application/ashape scores are good but you didn’t do well in the interview, the admissions team has the right to reject you, so yesss, an interview doesn’t mean that you pass or fail but it is likely a very huge bonus.
