<p>To all who get accepted in Tabor this year - a big Congratulations and I know you’ll be happy in Marion, MA. If anyone has any questions, send me a message and I’ll be happy to share my first year experiences with you. (Ups and downs of adjusting to a whole new world)! Good luck to everyone applying to the wonderful prep schools and I hope everyone gets accepted to the school you are hoping for. Don’t be disappointed if you don’t get accepted in the school you think may be best for you though! Sometimes the revisits to the schools you are accepted to sheds new light and perspective on what you are really looking for and what will be best for you. </p>
<p>Last year I went through this application process and was mentally exhausted by March. I did not get accepted to my first choice school and initially was pretty disappointed. Then I received the acceptances of many (about 7) that I also applied to. Tabor was actually the school I was least impressed with during my tour and interview. Upon acceptance and a lot of encouragment from others, I did attend the revisit day. It was then that I knew it was the school for me. I am really happy here. </p>
<p>I guess what I’m trying to say is not to get disappointed with the results until your revisits are complete.</p>
<p>Prior to knowing which schools I would be accepted to, Brooks was my number one choice. I loved the campus, the family feel, and it just seemed to be a perfect fit. Unfortunately, I was not accepted there (probably because we were applying for financial aid - but I can’t be sure of that). Once I was accepted at several schools, I was confident Pomfret would be my school. I am still very fond of Pomfret but once I did the revisit at Tabor I changed my mind quickly. Mostly because of the students’ attitudes. Everyone (students) seemed excited about my acceptance and made me feel very welcome. There doesn’t seem to be a separation between freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. They all treat each other with respect and they don’t “look down” on the under classmen. Most of the kids I hang with this year are juniors and seniors although I have formed a bond with my own class as well. I think Tabor is unique because they take pride in honesty, respect, etc. Some of the other schools did not give me that same feel. I do not regret my choice of Tabor in any way and I’m grateful that people encouraged me to take a second look at the school.</p>
<p>Can you tell us your stats and if you were looking for a lot of aid? Did the aid packages from the different schools you were accepted to vary greatly? How heavy are the lonas? Thanks!</p>
