Preparing for a Chaotic Year in Independent School Admissions

Atlanta's school landscape is tricky enough. With everything being online, parents are asking "now what?" See how this year's admissions process will be different than ever before as parents are scrambling to identify trusted guides who know schools inside and out.

What will change:

- In person campus tours

- In person psychological evaluations

- In person academic testing

- In person classroom observations

- In person campus events (athletic games,plays, fairs)

- In person admissions events (coffee chats, meet and greets, parent info nights)

What this means for prospective families:

- In-depth insight into schools will matter more than ever (not just what you see on websites and brochures)

- Virtual observations and testing will be a "new normal" (students will need to be prepped for these)

- Less opportunities to engage on campus (new opportunities will matter more)

What this means for prospective families:

- Difficulty to connect with current families (importance of a guide to connect with mentor families)

- Difficulty to get questions answered (rapport with admissions matter that much more)
