<p>@Surfdude. I worked my tail off applying last year, my one regret is not doing the on-campus interview… and I live in Asia.</p>
<p>If you are serious about attending one of the top boarding schools I strongly recommend you do an on-campus interview. It is very difficult to gain admission to these schools and much of the process is out of your control; therefore, take control of areas you can. Seeing that you even started this thread, I believe you already know that it’s probably better to do an on-campus interview and this element is completely up to you (and your family).</p>
