Private School admissions events

We are currently applying to start our son in Kindergarten to Head Royce, St Paul, Redwood Day and Park day.  We are excited about all of them.  We are both working full time and attended the tours of each school, but really did not have the time to attend any of the open houses, socials etc. Anyone know if attendance at these events is a factor for admission?

While attending those additional events might be helpful I don't think they'll hurt your chances. One administrator told us it looks good for you because it shows you're really excited about the school and they're more likely to recognize your name when they go through the applications but at the same time I doubt it would be a strike against you for not going.

Hi I am applying to Head-Royce this year as well!  I wondered the same and have chatted with the folks at Head-Royce.  I was assured that these events are for my husband  and I to make sure the school is a good fit for our five-year-old not vice versa.  Crossing my fingers for grade one admissions! Good Luck to you.
