[quote=Anonymous]15:16 again. 4. I wish I had not been so afraid of the admissions people. At the time, I considered them the enemy, and assumed they were carefully judging and weighing everything about me, just looking for an opportunity to reject my child. As a result, I did not ask many of the questions I should have asked. Now that I know them better, I realize the admissions people are far more focused on getting information to applicant families (or at least the ones at my kids' school are), and are not judgmental at all. All of them have seen disorganized parents, people of all backgrounds and experiences, parents who ask dumb questions at the open houses, and kids who melt down at playdates. While I'm sure truly offensive actions could hurt your child's chances of admission, most admissions people don't hold the dumb stuff against you. So don't be afraid to ask them questions or seek more info![/quote]
