[quote=Anonymous]Our experience with Sidwell's parent-led tour and interview left much to be desired. The tour focused primarily on how great the parent's child was and the interview consisted of watching someone eat their breakfast while asking generic questions. We hope the school places a high value on teacher recommendations and grades, but the overall approach to the admissions process left us feeling underwhelmed. The school's reputation and college acceptance rates are impressive, but the activities offered are on par with other top schools in the area. The administrative contact was lacking and our interactions with alumni, parent-led tours, open houses, and testing were uninspiring and unmemorable. We suggest Sidwell take note of how other schools conduct their admissions process to avoid turning off potential applicants. Though Sidwell is a top choice, we have other schools that we are also just as interested in. Can you imagine brining on new students and creating a culture without meeting them?
