There seems to be a parallel discussion that coincidentally occurred in the main Prep School Admissions topics. The original poster was asking about the process and one of the replies indicated that there was a check box seen on a screen in college admissions news segment - “likely to attend.” That started the whole subsequent discussion.
I guess the question is whether boarding schools have this same criterion and whether it influences decisions.
I think that they probably do and I am not sure what is the best way to let AOs know of this “likely to attend” characteristic that they are looking for.
It turns out that my son forgot to send in a Thank You note to his first choice school (we think)!!!
So, I have asked him to think over how to craft a belated thank you without seeming to inconsiderate.
