[quote=pbraverman][quote=Anonymous] What age is your DC? Mine was rising 6th and wrote her own note of thanks and indicating that she loved the school. She got in. At that age I would also write as a parent. But I didn't to this school. For high school it should definitely be the child doing it. [/quote] Respectfully, as a school administrator I would not assume anything about a first-choice declaration unless it came from a parent. The school's contract is made with adults; it is the adults whose word on these topics would carry weight with the admission directors I know. I have seen too many parent/child disagreements to think a child's word is nearly as reliable as a parent's — on this topic. Again, don't overthink it. If it's your family's first choice, just say so succinctly and move on to the next task. I think it's fine (even nice) for a high-schooler to write a note, but I don't think that carries any real weight on its own. Peter[/quote]
