[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two last year 9th grade admissions. Both Big5 schools. 1) At one my son was asked what book he had just finished reading in English class and he had no idea. "I'm sorry, I can't remember". He got in. 2) My son was coming from public and is advanced in math (algebra 2 in 8th). The admissions person asked us how he was doing with online learning and my husband said "oh, it's been a challenge but he learns most of his math on youtube." Which was sort of true but i'm not sure telling admissions that your son is not learning much in class is ever a good thing. He did not get in. [/quote] !!! on both of them. DH, who is generally quite smooth in these settings, asked something that clearly signaled (at least to me) that this was a "safety school" during a K admissions interview. I was absolutely flabbergasted and could not think of anything to save it. Yes, DC was WLed.[/quote]
