| I've written about a half dozen sentences (80-100 words) for each prompt. Is that about right, too little, or too much? |

| I would just answer the question and cut the fluff. They are reading so many applications that they will be grateful for responses that just get to the point. |

Try this: We are wealthy and will give when prompted. We will be full pay. We are happily married and won't be looking for new spouses or affair partners among the staff or other parents. We are attentive enough parents that our child is well behaved and respectful, but busy enough that we don't have time to bitch about grades, deadlines, uniforms, etc. We'll show up to the obligatory parental functions, but don't want to be on the board. We have 3 more just like the child applying, and would love to send them as full pay students as well so we don't have kids spread all over the place. We do not post every little slight we feel on DCUM. We don't get drunk at social events. |
