[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, we were probably at the same event. I agree, it was underwhelming. But I know enough about the school that it hasn't affected our decision to accept the spot and turn down another school (highly sought after on this board). No school is perfect. You will not get a lot of flash at this school and perhaps that's what they were trying to convey? I did think the parents and staff we talked with were nice and welcoming and that's been my overall impression of the school throughout this process. Let your kid attend a shadow day (if they haven't already) and use that experience to guide your decision. Good luck![/quote]

NP, but we may have been at the same event.  I was also underwhelmed, especially after comparing it to two other schools. But I appreciate they weren't trying to win me over with swag and photo opps. My kid had a great time and said they were able to connect with both current students and new admits. It was very informal, but of the three events I attended it did give the most opportunity to talk to current teachers and families, which is important. DC was sold at the end of it and asked me this morning if I had let the school know yet. [/quote]

Sounds like the same event, yes. Felt like they had never done this before and that very little thought had gone into it (like, maybe speakers should introduce who they are?) Maybe it was just a misstep, but it raised concerns.

Kid shadow is most important, but it made me sad to leave with more concerns than I arrived with. [/quote]
