[quote=Anonymous]Op if you are coming from a private k-8, most HOS and/or another representative will meet with the schools where your DC is applying (after having worked with you to determine a list of possible schools). They will be able to give the school a sense of what your child and your family would bring to the school. They can also say that this school is the family’s number one choice if you’ve told them that. Obviously the other data points matter, but IMO this is a very important part of the process. If you are coming from public, you will be evaluated on the basis of your application and any interactions you have directly with the school. If you have connections to the school, your application will be weighed against others with connections. Schools handle this differently, but most give preference to siblings, legacies, and, of course, famous or big donors. [/quote]
