Sometimes they’re looking for some insights as to the weaknesses in their child’s application. That can be useful to families on the waiting list or who will reapply in later years. Sometimes the information is less than instructive:
“Your child is a strong candidates but we had many more strong candidates than we had spaces for.”
Sometimes the information can change a family’s approach:
“In the end we felt your child was young for the grade. We would consider him a strong candidate as a repeat 9th grader next year.” or
“Even though we have a wonderful learning center and study skills program we really don’t think this is the right place for a child with dyslexia.”
