<p>10 schools is not too many to consider at this point. There are some good suggestions by others on different schools to consider as well. It was suggested to us that kids should consider applying to 5-8 private schools, fewer is fine if you have public school you would be happy to attend. But you might want to look at more to consider your options and then narrow down for applications. </p>
<p>One thing I learned is that many schools interview first, and then the kids submit their application after. So not everyone who interviews ends up applying. Sometimes the fit isn’t right. The interview can be considered part of the process in finding the right school. We have not gone on any formal visits yet, but have walked around several campuses. </p>
<p>Good luck - we are in the process of narrowing schools and lining up fall interviews too.</p>
