[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trinity parent who wore normal clothing (pants, flats, sweater) for both our k tour and interview. Did not interview with head of admissions (Jennifer) or associate head of admissions (was Drew, is now Jaclyn). Unconnected and got lucky.

The couple we toured with was outwardly flashy, dad was pompous and talked over everyone and argued with his wife and tried to dismiss her questions. They probably thought we were the odd ones, but we never saw them again. ;)[/quote]

Wow, unconnected? Nice. Any tips [/quote]

Luck. Honestly. My kid is very bright, but NYC is [u]filled[/u] with very bright kids. I am confident that many applicants would have checked the same boxes and been equally successful in the school.

I wish I had meaningful tips. Be yourself. Be kind. Hope that your 4/5 year old has a good day on that visit. Know why the school is of interest to you and why you think your child would be a good fit and communicate that well. We focused a lot on the lower school experience at every school because it felt impossibly hard to predict who our kid would be in middle or high school. That is all I've got.

The rest is just luck.[/quote]

Thank you. We don’t know at families at Trinity. Everything has gone well so far but feel like an outsider. Guess we will see[/quote]
