NMH Revisit Day

<p>Hello</p>

<p>Has anyone here been to the NMH revisit date ?</p>

<p>I am flying up there next week and just wanted to know what I could/should expect !!</p>

<p>I’ll repost a part of what I added to the “Questions about NMH thread” in December:</p>

<p>…NMH is an outlier, a beautiful outlier. The trip up One Lamplighter Way was a spellbinding trip to Narnia, and revisit day wove magic into the BS admission process. The philosophy that runs through the school, “NMH has no preconceived notions of who you ought to be, but does have great expectations of what you can do” is a paraphrase of how we have raised our son. NMH did the most beautiful job of getting to know our child. At revisit day, they had all the kids get into a circle. Each was given a large envelope with the name of a prospective student on it and they were to continue passing them in one direction until all the envelopes ended up in the right hands. This is how they award diplomas on graduation day, a process indicating that an NMH education is a product of a community of many hands; no one achieves alone. The kids then brought the envelopes back to their seats and read the content with their parents. Inside the envelope, on heavy, suitable-for-framing, diploma-quality paper was a certificate with the NMH logo and graphic of the campus. Below the picture were several paragraphs explaining in specific detail what NMH knew about our child and how NMH and our child were a match. It brought a big lump to my throat and tears to my eyes. I could see DH struggling with the same emotions. NMH was unabashedly courting our son.</p>

<p>(NMH did the best job during admissions and revisits of any school DS applied to; had it been me, I would have chosen NMH.)</p>

<p>Wow thank you ! I can’t wait to go now haha !!</p>
