[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For posters who are saying they liked “HM” more than expected - curious as to what you expected?  New to this scene and perhaps it’s obvious but not to me.  Thanks![/quote]

I expected it to be colder, more formal, and to feel the intensity. Don’t get me wrong, it’s clearly a very academic school. But the admissions staff was warm and welcoming. [/quote]

Exactly. It was very diverse, which I liked. Very warm. This is for K admissions, so the pressure cooker part didn’t come out. The kids seemed nice and normal. I just felt like a family like ours (has some money, not flashy or cares to social climb) could find others similar to us. They take a good amount of public school kids, too, which I think enriches the student body.[/quote]

My DC got in HM K from public school several years ago. We didn’t know at the time, but HM has a couple of kids from public in each grade. It is really nice not to have everyone from the same UES schools. The student body is pretty diverse. [/quote]
