[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We met the AD years ago and were totally turned off.  I think she should be warm, at least (preferably warm and fuzzy).  She is an ambassador for the school.  You think upon meeting her that she represents the attitudes and mindset of the teachers and administration.  I think most of us want "warm and fuzzy" for our children's kindergarten teachers, which is the class for which our dc was applying.  Potomac admins, PLEASE get rid of this person.  She does your school a huge disservice.[/quote]

You sure you weren't looking for someone to blow smoke up your a$$ or make you feel special like your gardener, cleaning lady or service advisor at MB.  It's an admissions process and we had a positive experience with the AD (and her associates).  Keep this in mind, Potomac does a wonderful job of selecting parents as well as their kids, maybe you didn't cut it...    [/quote]

We too had a very bad experience with the AD.  OP it is not about getting that smoke blown up you +++.  But, considering the amount o ftuition you pay, it is about some common courtesy.  Ture, there are plenty of applicants to take the spot of those (like us) who walked away because of it.  So, the administration doesn't really care.

Given the number of gripes posted abpit the AD. tjere's definitely a problem.

I guess one could say that where there's some smoke....there;s a fire......[/quote]

You folks bruise more easily than peaches.  I honestly don't understand why, if you otherwise liked a school, you would let a "not warm" Admissions Director turn you off to the school.  Once your child is in none of you will be dealing with the AD again.  I guess if all other things are equal and you have other equally inviting choices you are using it as a tie-breaker?  I will say that this does appear to support those who feel that the private school experience is often just as much about the parent as the child.[/quote]
