I find the interview feedback a great tool/resource. The ranking idea is on the right track, but I feel certain anomolies are hurting the significance.
It seems to me that nearly every school's faces/poor ratings are made in response to a poor interview experience. E.g. the interviewer was rude, it was a grilling session, "they didn't read my file" a la "they didn't seem interested in me" jazz etc..
I understand that poor experiences like these are just that. But to let a bad taste in one's mouth from and interview ruin their image of a school seems ignorant/shortsighted.
One can argue that the interviewer is a representitive of the school, and to an extent I can't deny that. But so many other factors should be considered: people other than your interviewer, students, curriculum, facilities etc..
I applaud those who keep it real and let the interview be merely a part of the picture, but must say I believe those who drop the rankings of schools because they are sour about a nasty interview expereince are doing a disservice to all of us who use the interview feedback.
