Parents of the HS Class of 2026

It was like a case study, where they got into small groups and had to review 3 students’ applications to Haverford College. They had to choose to admit 1, waitlist 1, and deny 1. D26 really enjoyed it, felt she learned a lot from it. After each group explained which student they admitted, waitlisted, and denied, the counselors then gave them the actual results and they all discussed it. Pretty cool stuff.

I love this kind of activity. Our school does something similar for juniors, but it’s always been on a weekend, and neither of my girls opted to participate.

But when D22 was in high school, it was open to parents, so another mom and I went even though our kids didn’t, lol. An admissions officer from Bowdoin was there leading it. And it was eye opening!
