I can see why rising seniors would want to switch schools. True, most of their transcript is from somewhere else, but college admissions will see a BS applicant just the same. Also, there are lots of leadership opportunities, AP’s, varsity sports accessible to rising seniors that aren’t available to 9th and 10th graders. They may plan to take a semester off before applying to college, so they’ve potentially really added appeal to their college application without much cost. Whether you come in in the 9th grade or last year of HS, you still get the same diploma. I think its pretty smart. Doesn’t Belichick claim to be a graduate of Andover when he only attended one year? Was it a gap year at that? BTW, what do you get if you only attend a gap year? You’ve already graduated from some HS with a diploma, so what does the sheepskin say that’s handed out at graduation for gap year students, “you’ve successfully completed a post graduate year,” at X college preparatory school?
