Private school application deadlines are fast approaching, and something about that looming "submit" button fosters questions. Is there anything you're overlooking? What should you write in the parent statement? Will schools accept SSAT scores after the application deadline? Yes, we understand!
Watch this presentation to see Kristen Kaschub, assistant head of school for enrollment at Gould Academy in Maine, answer parent questions about the application submission process, including:
- How important is each aspect of the application?
- What if something like recommendations won't be finished by the application deadline?
- Is it possible to get an application fee waiver?
- Should parent statements be more factual or emotional?
- What makes a good student essay?
- How important are SSAT scores?
- Can test results be sent to the school after the application deadline?
This presentation was made possible thanks to the support of Gould Academy.
About Gould Academy
Gould is a small, coed, independent boarding school in the White Mountains of western Maine, where faculty do their best to say 'yes' more than they say 'no,' where students have flexibility to try new things in new ways. Here, students celebrate each other, take risks, and experiment because we know that education is about the journey, about being in the NOW. We celebrate the creative process, not just the outcomes.
