Information from speaking with AO’s:

Do you have any experience living away from home? Like @ camp?

Can you work independently

Are you a happy kid? That’s right. AO’s like kids who are positive & present as happy. If you are super smart, but come across as depressed, negative, cynical, fixed in your mindset, etc…it will show through your interview and not serve you well.

Are you emotionally ready for boarding school?

Have you done interesting things?

Do you have good communication skills? Can you engage in a classroom conversation?

Do you get along well with others?

What talent, skills, or sport can you contribute to the school?

What will you add to this community?
