[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to try hard not to be snarky,mouth believe me, it's hard because you do come across as a little pathetic.

There is no one "right" way to do it.  No "one" right sequence.

Some people attend open houses before applying, others just do a tour.  Some do both.  Some schools combine the two.

The only thing you have to do is 1) have your child tested (WPPSI); 2) keep track of the deadlines for applications; 3) submit the applications and do interviews at the schools that require them.

If you're that overwhelmed, maybe you should pay an educational consultant to guide you through the process.[/quote]

I agree with this. You go on the school website and it tells you the dates. Not that hard. You tour. Set up a wpssi test with a psychologist. The schools have a list of providers. Then fill out application and have play date. Boom. [/quote]

OP here.  Thanks all for the guidance.  I wasn't thinking this was rocket science, although if it were, I would have it covered as a have a Ph.D. in aeronautical engineering.

I'm glad to hear this is "all" there is but that I will also need to start thinking about testing as well as the obvious things.  Fall is the busiest time of year for me at work and this one wil be bad so I don't want to be rushing things at the last minute.  And no idea there were "good" and "bad" testers.  SATs were all the same in my experience.

We'll start scheduling tours, filling out forms and looking at testing requirements.  We know the set of schools we are at least potentially interested in (based on location) as another poster stated, so we'll move forward from there.
