[quote=Anonymous]So interesting about Holton for middle and upper school as the lower school was a very different experience.  My daughter is applying for 6th, which is still lower school there, and she hasn't ever been able to be in the building while classes are going on.  She has also never really had a conversation with any of the adults from the school.  She went to an open house where there were 6 girls on a "panel" to answer questions and then we could wander around the school as we wished.  She may have seen only half of the place, because I couldn't remember all of the ins and outs from my interview with the admissions person a month before that.  Then she went to applicant visiting day, which was only for applicants.  The current students had the day off.  I'm sure it was very helpful for the admin team to see how my daughter worked with other girls, but for my daughter it was very stressful.  She had to write an essay, then do projects with other applicants while the admins, teachers and admissions team walked around observing them. Stressful!  I'm hoping that there will be an option to have an actual shadow day if she is admitted, as right now she doesn't have very warm and fuzzy feelings about the place.
