I think this is an interesting question. I’ve often thought of it another way----many parents and students love to “win” at boarding school admissions. It seems like they think of it as a national competition and they get a thrill at being a part of it. I see this a lot. Sometimes I want to ask them, “do you really want to GO to a top tier boarding school or do you just want to get accepted by one?”

They always end up going, but it seems like there is a lot of thrill in the chase!
