[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ours were all the same:

- Tell me about your child
- Three words that describe your child (so annoying to get this AFTER the first one!)
- What are some challenges your child has faced
- What has your child's current school experience been like
- What are you looking for in your child's next school
- How have you participated in the community at current school
- In what ways/areas have you interacted with your child's teachers at current school[/quote]

We had similar questions most of the time. NC and Sidwell interviews felt a bit more like we as the family were being interviewed. What’s our background, how did we end up in the DC area, why independent schools in general, why Sidwell/NCS specifically, how did we feel about the Quaker/christian component etc.

I actually really enjoyed all my interviews. Lets you rave about your kid for a bit to a person that seems interested in knowing more. No “gotcha” kind of questions. Low stress.  Time will tell whether my take on them translates to any admissions.[/quote]

I am confused - I didn't think NCS does parent interviews? I asked multiple times this fall and they said it was not part of their process. I thought it was very weird. For what grade did you have an interview?[/quote]
