[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child will attend Deal next year. Academically is doing very well. In addition to making sure 6th and 7th grade goes well... and 7th transcripts show the best grades possible, it seems like the interview is the big deciding factor. I see there is an essay. I wonder if the essays are read and referenced in the interview.

It seems like Walls has a ton of applicants and doesn't really have to pick based on best grades or "best overall package".

My child is in piano, theater, dance, and sports.

Anyone with experience getting in to Walls from Deal? Any reliable info on what they're looking for, besides the obvious of ability to handle the rigor?

Anyone in but also have a 504?[/quote]

[b]You need to understand that, in the end, it all comes down to lottery luck[/b]. There are far, far more kids who want to go to Walls than Walls's capacity. There are going to be hundreds of very qualified kids each year who don't get in.[/quote]

Be sure your child is aware of this so they can pace their expectations.

My 8th grader is applying and I've let her know.[/quote]
