[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get on with it op, for some places their interview schedules fill up quickly.

We have our applications in, some of our recommendations in, and have scheduled tours, interviews and testing. Why not just get it all done??[/quote]

LOL.  You may have begun scheduling tours and visits at the most.  You may have approached last year's teachers about recs.  You may have gotten testing done over summer.  But rest assured, OP, you are right on time.  Sign up for the time slots for tours and interviews and testing as early as you can so you can get slots that work for your schedule.  No one in admissions is looking at anything yet even if Ravenna is open for you to begin filling out forms.  We did the testing over the summer for DC and his last year's teachers are working on his recs, but otherwise nothing needs to have already been done.  [b]PP is a douche[/b].  You may run into her on the tour asking all sorts of asinine questions on behalf of her gifted child.  Pay no mind...

My advice is, especially if you are applying from public school, make sure the teachers who are providing recs have tons of info (report cards, assessments, etc).  This is one place where private school teachers have a leg up and even the report cards are more "narrative" and easy to turn into a rec.  [/quote]

What? Who even says that about another poster on here except for pajama man who is lives in his mother's basement?? Did anyone say their child was gifted? Maybe our child is disabled and needs early access before things get crowded. Did you think of that? You're disgusting.

We have interviews scheduled, we have some recommendations in already - because I don't know, the teachers are super efficient or something. Its possible, though it may not be YOUR first hand experience. [/quote]
