[quote=Anonymous]16:50, I will play ball here.  DC applied to Maret K a few years back.  We were one of the first to arrive at the cottage for the playdate, but it was already a little chaotic (and understandable - small kids, nervous parents, etc).  No one was really providing direction on what the applicants were to do and the AD was hanging back a bit.  Then another family arrived.  AD pushed past us, greeted the family, and brought applicant over to table and explained what to do.  That left a bad taste in my mouth, even if the school was not our top choice, mainly due to HS class size.

That said, however, I think being an AD is a very hard job - I doubt I would have the temperment for it.  While I was dismayed by the Maret AD's actions that day, I know that admissions season is filled with courting and wooing.  I realized we were neither being courted and wooed by the school.  Was grateful that DC was eventually admitted at 4/7 schools, including 2 Big 3s, so the Maret W/L letter was incidental.  [/quote]
