[quote=Anonymous]The only tip I might disagree with is the interaction with the admissions office. Several great schools in the area have at various times had some truly quirky/annoying admissions people. One does wonder why they are still there, because clearly off-putting to some parents (and perhaps not surprising that they are at schools admitting a small percentage of applicants) but they must bring something positive to the school/process in terms of insights about kids or something. Given that you and your child never see the admissions staff again, once at the school, if everything else at the school feels positive, try to ignore the admissions staff and experience itself as hard as that might be.
