[quote=Anonymous]I think this year has been challenging for admissions as some schools have been more accessible than others. Kids may lean towards schools they have gotten to know better. I’d wait to see where he gets in and then schedule a visiting day at each school, and have him make a final decision after he’s spent a day at each school. It may help to create a spread sheet comparing what is important to you all for each school to try to focus on the big stuff. Also, look at the course offerings and to make sure what you think he’d want to take is offered and accessible (honors or APs specifically in your child’s areas of interest? Certain electives?). I am of the opinion that most kids can be successful at many different schools—having the student buy-in goes a long way to having success. [/quote]
