We too saw tons of kids from prep schools during March break. We all seemed to be on the same tour and by the third school at which we’d seen the same families we began to compare notes. I think a lot of the boarding school kids on summer visits are either doing a second pass or are kids who didn’t have a clear idea of what they wanted when they did their initial spring break trips.
We had a kid at a day school who did two separate trips during the fall of senior year. The most we could do with boarding school kid was a local hotel conference room interview with a school she’d visited but not interviewed at in the spring. Saturday classes and sports made it near impossible to take off for the weekend. Some families do skip part or all of parent’s weekend, when kids tend to have a Monday off.
