Can I have some tips on getting into EHS, Deerfield Academy, or Hotchkiss?

At several schools, Kiddo was asked questions about family life (are your parents married? What do you do as a family on the weekends? What does your mom make for dinner (that was a loaded question)? How will you feel about being so far away from home and friends? How did you first become interested in attending boarding school? What are your siblings like?….

At the risk of arousing the wrath of the mods for a tangential comment, I have to say that some of these questions are…interesting in light of how careful employers, landlords, lenders, etc. have to be in screening applicants. Maybe different laws apply to schools, though I suspect not.
