[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS has decided to apply anyway. He has found two schools he loves. And Deerfield is one of them. The other has an acceptance rate closer of 18%. Don’t know if you don’t try :)

The good news is that his current school is very good and goes to 12th. He just really wants the community of a BS. Nothing to lose. And we will need partial aid. [/quote]

Which other one?  My sons graduated from NE boarding schools.

My recommendation is to go to more than two and apply to more than that.  The good ones are as hard or harder to get into than many colleges.

Unless you are really of the mindset that "it's only school X or no boarding school" it's kind of madness to only apply to 1 or 2 boarding schools, IMHO. It's really a crap-shoot at the top 20 or so schools. Where my kids did and didn't get in didn't follow any sort of predictable pattern (got into a "reach", rejected by a "safety.") The schools are small and trying to build holistic-feeling class.[/quote]
