My child is socially “young” and interviewers noted this at two schools we visited. We chose not to apply to those places in part because of that feedback. I felt like they know their population and were signaling that the schools might not be a fit for us. My child applied three other places, was admitted to all three, and is a happy upperclassman now.
I’d just move on and consider not applying there.
I had a negative experience when my daughter interviewed at Hotchkiss as well. Though the campus was beautiful the feel was not right for us. The vibe from the interviewer was not welcoming or friendly, she seemed disinterested, tired, unhappy or just having a bad day. This was not the way to win students and their families. Out of the 12 schools we interviewed at and toured this was the only one that I got this vibe from the interviewer. I immediately knew that this was not the school for us. My advice is to be mindful of this incident and as I was told…go with the school that loves you the most. Out of the 12 schools and my daughter’s acceptances we did just that. We ended up with a school that gave her a full 4 year scholarship (not full financial aid). We did not go with the more prestigious acceptance. We went with the most welcoming, diverse, well rounded community that took into consideration student’s learning styles as well as my daughters interests in dance and fine arts. It turned out to be perfect for her and she absolutely loves it! In addition the scholarship is amazing! As I was told “you never have a second chance to make a first impression” and it appears that they did not make a favorable first impression on you. Good luck to your DS.
I understand if you feel the need to protect your daughters privacy but may I ask what school she goes to now? @Sarrip
