The two schools our kids applied to have different philosophies about parents. One of them ignored the parents while the other met with the parents and answered any questions & asked questions to clarify the interview they had held with the kid. I was must more impressed with the latter school because they were able to ask me to explain things that the interviewer didn’t understand (S was pretty reticent during interview because of some flak he was getting at his public middle school–teacher claimed to want participation but just used it to attack students–interviewer said that helped him understand S’s reticence; for D, they wanted assurance that if they accepted D she would attend).
My SIL brought work to do & when they interviewed her, she said she had no Qs & was ready to leave. Her Ss were admitted any way but Ds were denied at K & got in at later grades.
