Advice from Parents to Prospective Parents on Admissions
Parent #1
I do not think that we did anything special. The admissions process seemed very fair.
Parent #2

Parent #3

Parent #4
I expressed our true feeling that we thought that this was the best school for our child--I let the Admissions Director know that. (Note: You should only do that for your true, first choice.)
Parent #5
I spoke to a lot of parents with children attending the school and asked them to put a good word for our family. Wrote a very detailed letter to the admissions director on reasons why we wanted that school. We were very clear at pointing out to him that we did not want a Plan B and that the FAIS program was our number 1 choice.
