[quote=Anonymous]My kid didn’t get into Walls last year. I explained to them that the process was basically a lottery and not to take it to heart. They were a straight A student at Deal for all three years, played a sport that does well at Walls, and was a kid that tests remarkably well. (Consistent top scores on all PARCC tests and did very well on the 9th grade PSAT). But the 5 minute interview didn’t play to their strengths and I couldn’t even use my own conversational abilities to make up for it because it was too high pressure and random even for me. So, they’re at Jackson-Reed and thriving so far. I was really frustrated when they took a hit to their ego by not getting in and then comparing themselves to other students who did get in. But, I really feel like they’re where they belong and that it’s all worked out for the best. I hope this helps some folks take heart as they navigate the process this year. It’s a lottery and it’s not personal. [/quote]
