How early can we get started on our prep school applications?

<p>While @GMTplus7 makes very valid points, I need to refute one of them from personal experience:

Since GMTson was applying to be a boarder, we eliminated schools with low %boarding students, like Milton.

As a boarder myself, I feel that some on CC make too big a deal of the day/boarder ratio. Day students are generally well-integrated into the community, and the only difference is where they put their heads at night. Day students are often on-campus through dinner and study period, and on the weekends. Day students also provide boarders an oppy to get off-campus and have a home-cooked meal once in a while, as well as the oppy for a place to stay on the shorter breaks.
