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?
