[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do all schools do the half day visit like GDS? Was it intimidating for your child? Also, what made the Maret admissions process so much better than others for people who commented here?[/quote] The admissions staff at Maret seemed to enjoy the opportunity to meet families and tell them about the school. They took a genuine interest, and we felt welcomed and encouraged, even knowing that the odds of getting in were pretty slim. At Sidwell and GDS, the admissions staff had an attitude, and I felt like a "necessary evil" that they had to endure. It's not necessarily reflective of anything else at the school, but it does leave a bad taste. (We had a good admissions experience at schools other than Maret, too, fwiw.) Not all schools do a half-day visit, and at some it is optional. At GDS (for 4th grade) it was required, and yes, it was intimidating for my DD.[/quote]
