[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my DC's classmate's family had an unprofessional experience with admissions at Flint Hill.  The admissions department acted as if they were just a number.  They were so disorganized that the admissions person forgot about their scheduled interview.  Their child attends a highly regarded private school and is an athlete and an excellent student.  The child was accepted to every school they applied to:  FH, Potomac, and GDS.  They had originally thought their DC would attend FH, but after such an unimpressive showing by the admissions department at FH, their child is going to attend GDS.[/quote]

That's strange.  Admin's pretty decent at Flint Hill.  That said, Flint Hill really isn't competitive with Potomac and GDS academically, so not sure why those were the three schools.  Girls Volleyball player?  [/quote]

That seems the likely explanation -- particularly with FH being the initial leader among the three acceptances (unless their original thought was motivated by an expectation that FH would be their only acceptance).  I am surprised, as well, with the experience the first poster had with FH admissions.  We are a couple cycles out and also selected a different school for our DD; however, we found the admissions department at FH to be warm and well organized.  [/quote]
