[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Love to hear it.  How is your DC liking HM?[/quote]

DC loves it and made good friends. To our surprise, we also became good friends with several parents. Both of us did not know what to expect since we heard HM had reputation of being competitive and cutting throat. [/quote]
