[quote=Anonymous]I am curious about the parent statement.  I heard that several years ago, the school started asking parents to write a very short statement during the playdate, instead of the series of longer personal statements that accompany all other schools' written applications.  But I know when we applied about 4 years ago, there was no in-person statement, and we instead had to write 3 or 4 statements on the written application.

For parents applying currently, is there a written statement during the playdate, or not?  Is all this complaining based on a practice that was discontinued several years ago, or is it happening now?

I'm not sure which one I'd prefer.  When I hear about doing a single short statement in-person, that sounds a lot better than several statements written in advance.  I remember applying to 4 different schools all at the same time, each with 3-4 different essays, and that was a really tiresome experience.  But the pressure of an in-person statement would also be scary.[/quote]
