[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my DC's classmate's family had an unprofessional experience with admissions at Flint Hill.  The admissions department acted as if they were just a number.  They were so disorganized that the admissions person forgot about their scheduled interview.  Their child attends a highly regarded private school and is an athlete and an excellent student.  The child was accepted to every school they applied to:  FH, Potomac, and GDS.  They had originally thought their DC would attend FH, but after such an unimpressive showing by the admissions department at FH, their child is going to attend GDS.[/quote]

This surprises me as we easily had our best admissions experience with Flint Hill. To anyone reading who is considering applying, I highly suggest going on a summer tour. It was a great way to get nice one-on-one time with admissions when they probably have more time. We went to all the events we could attend, both virtual and in-person and developed a nice relationship with the admissions officer. One of our favorite virtual events out of all the schools we toured was the virtual parent Q&A they offered where it was just FH parents and perspective parents on a call without admissions. Was a great chance to get all questions answered that you might not want to ask admissions. Our child was admitted but ultimately chose another school, but the FH admissions process was a big draw for us. [/quote]
