[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Either a letter or a personal conversation with Admissions.

The school is curious about where else you are applying.

And they really want to accept those who are highly likely to attend. The want to fill the class without going to the wait list which is a administrative mini-nightmare.

But your statement has to be supported by some logic as to why this is your DCs first choice and that you guarantee he will attend if accepted. [/quote]

At the end of the day, it isn't going to hurt your child's chances by telling the school it is your first choice. However, only do that if it is a true first choice. DO NOT ask current families to write a note on your behalf unless it is your true first choice. I'm still annoyed that we had "friends" ask us to do this because they were definite that they wanted our child's school for their daughters. They got into two schools and apparently played the first choice card at both schools. I don't think I could ever write another letter on someone's behalf. [/quote]
