[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What am I missing here? At all the tours and open houses, there are opportunities to talk to the admissions team. I have no idea what people talk to them about. Is it an opportunity to suck up and make an impression? I can read and follow the instructions for the application process, so I feel like I’m missing something. (HS applicant) [/quote] HS! Yikes. I missed that on my first read. Your kid needs to take the lead. Questions from parents to admissions teams for a HS applicant should be focused on logistics (“are bus routes static or do they change with demand?”) or should just be polite chit chat because you happen to be standing next to staff and neither of you have anyone to talk to because the kids are all talking to other staff and each other.[/quote]
