[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call me an overachiever, but I treated it like a job interview: I wanted a sense of what they might ask and to use the questions as a chance to highlight the things I wanted the admissions dept to know about my kid and our family. So I Googled "questions parents get asked at a private school interview," or something like that. Then I drafted answers to a bunch of them and discussed with my spouse to make sure we generally agreed. We also looked over the school's website and talked about aspects of the program we liked that weren't generic. We went through our answers on the drive to the school so we remembered what we'd wanted to say.

No one likes to interview someone who hems and haws and presents a disjointed story. I don't like being interviewed and feeling like I'm grasping all around for the right answer; I want to know what I'm saying ahead of time.  Seems like it worked here, since my kid got in for 4th grade.

Again, you can say I'm ridiculous, and maybe I am, but it was the least stressful way for me to go about it, didn't take too much time, and got the result that I wanted. [/quote]
