[quote=Anonymous]NP.  If the outplacement process you are referring to is Beauvoir's, I was a "renegade" parent and decided to file apps for my DC without the director.  However, it was the previous one (red head, we can't use names here).  For some reason, she had a strange reaction to me over the phone the summer before the start of 3rd grade.  I called her to confirm my initial appt and she was not only dismissive, but a real bitch.  Right then, I decided not to trust her and go it alone.  DC was ultimately accepted at each of the schools where we applied.  The admission directors at each school knew we were a Beauvoir family and apparently just added my DC's app in with the others.  I was very charming, courteous, and laid back in my communications with admission team members.  I made sure that the application statements that I wrote describing our DC were completely honest.  Everyone was extremely helpful, not one asked me why I wasn't applying through the OD.  I'm sure OD was miffed as to how my DC's app was already in the mix each time she visited a school to promote Beauvoir apps.

Surprisingly, when December of our app year rolled around and OD contacted the families applying to Cathedral schools with feedback from their admission directors, she called me all cheery talking about my DC and that it looked really good.  Ugh!
