<p>Living on the west coast, I did not have a clue about boarding schools in the east. My son is applying to enter the 10th grade at these schools. He researched these schools, he chose these schools, he applied to these schools…The reason I discovered that he was applying to these schools was because I had to write those parent essays. I just started researching these schools and just finding out how competitive these schools are…
Are the schools worth the trouble and the money?
What type of numbers does take to get in?
My son has always been self-motivated, I’m the parent who is catching up to the child and not the parent who is doing the pushing.
I need some feedback from parents who has kids applying and also with kids attending.
Thank you.</p>
