准备学校入学/面试

Okay, so the admissions packet for Northwood Academy just arrived. It looks pretty comprehensive. Have you had a chance to look at the interview tips they sent?

I glanced at them this morning. It seems they really emphasize the parents' role in the interview, not just the child's. We need to be prepared to talk about why we think it's a good fit for Emily.

Exactly. And for Emily, we should probably do a few more mock interviews, especially focusing on those 'tell me about yourself' type questions and how she handles unexpected questions. Her standardized test scores are strong, but the interview is key.

Good point. Let's block out some time this weekend for that. Also, the application form requires an essay from her. We should review that together tonight and make sure it really highlights her strengths and personality.

Definitely. I was thinking we could also role-play the parent interview section, just so we're both on the same page. What do you think about bringing up her passion for robotics?

Absolutely, that's a great example of her unique interests and how she applies herself. We should weave that into our responses. And let’s not forget to practice her 'why this school' answer. It needs to sound genuine and well-researched.

Agreed. And remember, they like to see that the child is engaged, so encouraging Emily to ask a question or two at the end of her interview could be a nice touch.

That's smart. It shows initiative. This is all coming together. We just need to stay organized and keep her confidence up.
