[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GDS: Allow child to go on tour before day visit and parent application.  Seems like a burden on everyone to have child's first exposure be half-day.

All using admissions portals - put pressure on software companies to make it easier to edit applications.  On too many it was too easy to "submit" something and then be unable to change it, such as a phone number or address.  Why lock out changes on that (at least up to application deadline)?[/quote]

Potomac allowed this pre-visit to the school, sort of.  We had a great parent visit, and during that visit it was mentioned that we could come by to hike the school's trails if we wanted during an upcoming weekend.  We did just that and ended up spending a good two hours walking the trails, checking out the buildings, walking around the fields (and kicking a soccer ball we found on one), etc.  It was great.  My DC had prior experience at Potomac but this was very low-key, fun experience that made the two later visits we did to Potomac for the interview and testing to be less stressful, as DC had seen the buildings and grounds before.
