[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had a dynamic and evolving experience with the schools I recently interacted with. Now that it is all over, I think the experience can vary partially based on biases (unconscious or not) that any individual admissions staff may have about your parent statement, social media, educational/professional background, family situation (SAHM, Single Parents…) etc. The shade and bad vibes seem to have nothing to do with the capabilities, character or credentials of your children. At the end of the day, admissions professionals are people who are not perfect and there are characteristics that they are looking for and if your family doesn’t fit that criteria there can often times be a lack of empathy. The families are filled with humans too.[/quote] As a single parent and in need of aid, I felt dismissed at a few parent interviews. I wonder if full pay had better experiences. [/quote]
