[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my DC's classmate's family had an unprofessional experience with admissions at Flint Hill.  The admissions department acted as if they were just a number.  They were so disorganized that the admissions person forgot about their scheduled interview.  Their child attends a highly regarded private school and is an athlete and an excellent student.  The child was accepted to every school they applied to:  FH, Potomac, and GDS.  They had originally thought their DC would attend FH, but after such an unimpressive showing by the admissions department at FH, their child is going to attend GDS.[/quote]

We experienced almost the exact same thing with our DS.  He was applying for 9th grade for this coming school year.  The admissions officer forgot the interview.  He had no regard for my wife and my schedules, or that my son was taken out of school for nothing.  My son was crushed.  He had prepared for the interview and was excited to go through the process.  The other three school's my DS interviewed at were absolutely welcoming.  We did reschedule with FH, but it left a shocking impression.  My son was accepted to 4 or the 5 schools at which he applied.   FH accepted him, but he realized that if a school could treat applicants with such disregard, he knew the school culture wouldn't be a good one.   I have never written a post on DCUM before, but I felt this needed to be shared.  [/quote]
