[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Applying to 9th at four selective boarding schools. It’s a lot of work.

I guess they want to know you are committed? And chasing the recommendations is a trick. I console myself by knowing that these schools have dedicated college counseling offices, and that they will step in the next time DC is undergoing this process. We are a financial aid family, so having that service included is a big bonus as we would never pay for a private counselor.

If your kid wants it, you show up and do the work. That’s just the way things are. [/quote]
Do boarding schools require more recs? The teacher recommendations were the one thing that felt straightforward to us. Although it helped hugely that DC was coming from a private k-8 so they had the routine down, because the same few English and math teachers did all the recs for all the 8th graders. The school collected the HS names and forms from each student and then just handled it - the kids didn’t have to ask anyone or stay on top of anyone to make sure they were completed, which was great.
