[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just finished the high school process with my kid and I don’t think parent background is that important at this stage. In the parent interviews I wasn’t asked anything about myself beyond why am I interested in the school and why do I think it’s a good fit for my kid. We were asked a little about our family values, what do we like to do together as a family, etc. Packer and Dalton don’t even interview parents.  I think a couple school asked where we went to high school but there were never any follow up questions. My kid got into 9 of the 11 schools they applied to and waitlisted at the other two so it doesn’t seem like having parents who are not rich and important makes much of a difference.[/quote]

I’m surprised Packer didn’t interview you. We also applied there for high school and the admissions person had a 30 minute conversation with our child and then a 20 min conversation with us. All the other parents interviewing with us also got interviewed. [/quote]
