Xystus, We answered honestly. DC’s school placement office also asks each kid to hand in their list of schools to which they are applying in ranked order. I suppose if a school is worried about yields, the placement office can then offer insight.

I mention the parent portion briefly above. The norm is that the parent goes in right after the AO is done talking to the kid. Most of the time, the AO picsk up from the conversation they just had with your kid, and at that time you might elaborate on what was discussed. I think you want to have a few points in mind that you hope to make about your child, if you can find a way to weave them in. You also have to have thoughtful questions, hopefully specific to the school. That takes a little homework, or may come from something you observe on the tour.

Some of the parent interviews seemed almost entirely designed to sell the school to us. Some of them seemed more focused on learning about our kid through us, and some were a combination of both.
