[quote=Anonymous]Happened a few years back. We are not ultra-wealthy, top doctors, nor powerful government officials. Some words of advice: Parent engagement matters much more than you think. DC has told me about how parents asking student tour guides inappropriate/odd questions and acting pretentious on tours is always flagged by the admissions office. This behavior has serious potential to bomb your child’s chances. Schools are admitting families, not just kids; always act authentic and respectful when engaging with schools. This behavior can happen subconsciously, so always check yourself. Interviews are where the admissions offices sees who your child truly is. Impossible to truly prep your child for them, as they ask unexpected questions. They filter out the authentic kids from the manufactured “my kid is the most special” ones here. Being humble, kind, and respectful go a long way. Best of luck.[/quote]
