[quote=Anonymous]Be yourself, let your child be him or her self, and let the school clearly know if you have a preference on their school over others and why. Being able to articulate clearly and continually why this school is a good fit for your child -- which should come out in the essays and interviews -- does help. Our DD is a leader, is a fierce debater, and does not necessarily conform to her peers though she does follow rules and excels academically. We did not hide that when we applied and she figured out where she would or would not fit best and one school basically told us they did not perceive her as a good fit. I was not offended in the least nor was she. Good luck! It can be as stressful as a process as you choose to make it. Do what you can to get things done early but recognize this is not an exact science by any means.[/quote]
