[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think the importance of these components is different for Pre-K/k applicants compared to 4th/7th/9th grade applicants? [/quote] No one is interviewing PK/K applicants. Or even 4th grade applicants. Pre-covid, I think playdates for the younger kids, where the school could see for itself how kids interacted with other kids and adults, probably mattered a great deal.[/quote] My PK kiddo applied last year and had either a virtual playdate (group) or one on evaluation/interview (virtual except for one) for every application last year. We applied to several expecting her to bomb a few. She was not engaged in any of the group playdates and was not offered a space. She was very engaged in the virtual one on ones and received offers or was waitlisted and encouraged to apply again. Anecdotal example, but I do think the interviews/one on ones factored into the decisions. [/quote]
