[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No open house at mater dei this year. What's the story[/quote]

I"m pretty sure there was one. I drive by there multiple times a day and there was a sign out front for one this fall.[/quote]
There’s a big splash announcement on the website saying the previously announced date has been canceled and that there will be no open house this year. [/quote]

So basically they have everyone they need. Don't bother applying[/quote]
Possibly.

They are still offering tours though. [/quote]

Less work and more selective than an open house.

Because they have had open houses for years, they know what they yield in terms of applicants. So, discontinuing them suggests that they can easily do without them.

Admissions departments are frequently evaluated on how many total applications there are. So, there's an incentive for the Admissions staff to hold things like Open Houses hoping to generate numbers of applications.

Mater Dei serves a relatively narrow slice of MoCo and NWDC families who want their DS's to be on a track to go to GP, GZA or St Johns. Those in the target market are well aware of the school. Many MD students transfer in from the local parish school. Events like Open Houses attract the curious and the "shoppers". To the school that might sound like a lot of work that yields little.[/quote]

No Mater Dei serves MAGA OPUS DEI families.[/quote]

Seems like a positve. [/quote]
