[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child got into NCRC and we had zero connections. We also changed schools after a year. All that glitters is not gold.[/quote]

I also never wrote a thank you note. Why would you do that? It's a school. We got into all of the schools we applied to and I never wrote a thank you note or "did any research" beyond location and curriculum. I find many of the parents on this board to be weird and intense. It isn't graduate school people![/quote]

You write a thank you note because:

1. You're not sure if you're supposed to, but it seems like it can't hurt, and perhaps everyone does it and you'll stand out for not doing it.  Plus, it takes like 5 minutes, so why not?
2. You want to try and be memorable, but in a nice way.  Sure, it's mostly random who gets in, but hey, if it's down between your kid and one other, maybe they'll think "[b]Oh, they wrote that nice note.  They seem like good people[/b]. Eh, why don't we pick that kid."

And btw, don't pat yourself on the back too hard for all the work you didn't do regarding preschool. You still found the schools, figured out the application process, applied, and attended at least the play date (and some schools require you to attend an open house before applying, although I can't remember if NCRC is one of them).  So, conservatively, you spent 2 hours applying and saved yourself 15 more minutes of work, which you probably spent being nasty on DCUM anyway.  Way to go.[/quote]

Or "wow, these are potential pain-in-the-ass schmoozers".

You run the risk of this perception for sure.  [/quote]
