I think its really hard to predict because, although you know your kid, you really don’t know what the school is looking for. It’s sometimes clear which schools really aren’t a fit, but it seems like alchemy to predict how your kid might help round out the class. Prep schools are particularly tough, I think, because most kids are just starting to come into their true selves. One of my kids was so shy freshman year, he didn’t talk the entire year. Now, as a senior, he’s been told that his classroom antics are distracting to other students.
