[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do they use 9th grade shadows when the 9th graders often just started at the private high school? Why not 10th graders? And why are there shadow days for applicants? I thought that was just for admitted students. [/quote] There are shadow days for applicants because it’s important for them to be in the school and get a sense of whether it is a right fit for them before they apply. Otherwise, you are applying to a school without really knowing the culture or the expectations. Ninth graders are used as hosts in order to give an applicant a sense of what freshman year and freshman classes will be like.[/quote]
