[quote=Anonymous]I was a teacher at a local private. If a child shadowed in my classroom, I was expected to write an email to admissions about how the visit went. I don’t know that a visit ever boosted a child’s chance at acceptance. I did see a few visiting students have a hard time following expectations and attempting to participate in in-class activities. At some schools—but certainly not all—that can negatively influence chances of acceptance. I think the greatest benefit of a shadow day is for the prospective student to get to know the school and feel more comfortable with it.[/quote]
