<p>I am a parent of Thacher freshman. My son just started there. I am glad you are applying to Thacher! Thacher is a very small and family-like community and if you prefer smaller sized school, it could be your option. I don’t know much about Loomis but heard it is an excellent school.</p>
<p>Thacher admission people, like its community, are very nice and welcoming. They would make you feel at home. I guess you should be nervous nevertheless during the interview. My advice is try to be yourself. Make sure you have the reason why you think Thacher is your best fit. Think about what you can bring in to the school community. Keep all those basic points in check. (Not only for Thacher and Loonis but for all the schools that you apply) Finally as Thacherparent stated, relax and enjoy. Be yourself. Don’t think every other applicants will conduct flawless interviews while you don’t. They expect an interview with an 8th grader, not with professionals. Be natural. </p>
<p>If you have any specific question about Thacher, please PM me. While I am a new parent and so my knowledge is rather limited, I will do my best to give you some general knowledge. All the best!</p>
