Hats off to a local top 3 BS adcom. Over the years I’ve seen them offer “direct to 10th grade” admissions and “repeat 9th” admissions to just the right students. Usually based on maturity. They are amazing at seeing what parents sometimes do not. Your kid is very bright and motivated, but needs a year to mature. What better place to gain that year then at a top rated boarding school.
