Prep School Admissions

<p>I am interested in applying for St. Andrews School next school year as a 9th grader, and I am going to visit the school soon. I am supposed to be interviewed after the tour is complete, and I am a bit nervous. I was wondering if anyone had some tips for a boarding school initial interview, and if anyone has had a St. Andrews interview, what are some questions that they usually ask? Please let me know ASAP! Thanks! :)</p>

<p>What is this St. Andrew’s School of which you speak? Never heard of it.</p>

<p>I kid. Daughter entered as a frosh and currently a senior. Here’s a link to her process a few years ago:

<p>Here’s a link to the main SAS thread here on CC. In addition to myself there are a few current or recent parents active on the site:

<p>hilarious, Seven!
be yourself, livelovelax; they are looking for any signs that you will fit in to the school “character”-wise, especially, or, alternatively, you display such obviously negative character traits that they might undermine the rest of your folder (e.g., curious, upbeat is good; rude, arrogant is bad)
O’s swept just now; those Viagra commercials didn’t add value</p>

<p>Thanks for all of the responses! I definitely feel more prepared!</p>
