[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid had the on-site Friends writing sample. We were turned off as it was sprung on him. The concept actually was nice - I believe he was asked to write about something he hadn't gotten to talk about during the interview, which is helpful (or difficult if you have nothing to say). Ironically he wrote about something that we spent most of the parent interview discussing. We generally found their admissions people to be distant and cold, and this was particularly notable after we were accepted and it was just kind of blah.[/quote] This is an interesting point about the admission people - we were not really pleased with the Spence admissions people nor did they really do a good job telling us about the schools strengths. The other option that we felt did a much better job was Nightingale They were warm, friendly and did a great job telling us about the school. We didn't even bother to send a letter to Spence but did send a letter to (not FC) N. Got into both (rejected at Chapin). However, once we got into Spence they turned 180 and were so forthcoming and helpful. However, it actually wasn't as easy decision since we liked N very much. We did have a heart to heart with a family who went there and they did tell us about some of the negatives. We ended up picking Spence and have been happy.[/quote] Curious what the negatives were at N? So hard to differentiate between S/C/N that every nuance is interesting to hear.[/quote]
