[quote=Anonymous]Definitely apply, and make sure your DS and you (in the interview) emphasize that Prep is his first choice.  If the SSAT score isn’t great, send them whatever else you have - such as standardized test results from middle school.  My son’s SSAT scores weren’t great and that’s what we did.  It’s impossible to say whether that made a difference, but he was admitted.  I think the interview is very important at Prep for families who are “new” or unknown to Prep.  They want polite, sporty and smart kids.  The kid interviews alone with admissions before the parents come in, so do what you can to make your DS comfortable with that beforehand.

I’ll also just say, Prep is wonderful and I’d strongly encourage boys from public schools and other non-parochial backgrounds to apply.  The fact that a chunk of each class comes from Mater Dei doesn’t matter - if anything those boys might stick together, but each student makes friends through sports and activities.  It is a special place.  [/quote]
