[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our top choice changed, and we dropped GDS altogether. Their essay questions were so ridiculous and out of touch with actual normal human children that we decided the school wouldn't be a good fit for our family. Also, their inflexibility on allowing any access to the school was a turnoff. Some schools at least offered limited access - on weekends, masked and vaccinated, etc. The overall vibe of "we're so amazing, you're lucky we're even considering letting you spend $50k on us, sight unseen" is ok for some, but we just couldn't.[/quote]

Yes, the parent interview and the lack of access to the school was a real turn-off. It's fallen down to the bottom of our list as well. Then again, we don't have a strong favorite as access to ALL campuses have been very limited. If we're lucky enough to have choices, I'm crossing my fingers the schools will allow shadow days for the kids they accepted and their parents. Before I send my DC and a big bag of cash to a school for the next several years, I want to make sure it's a good fit.[/quote]
