<p>I know boardingschoolreview says NMH admits 31% of applicants; however my daughter’s letter regretfully informing her that she was not admitted says they have over 1600 applicants for approximately 220 places which is about 14% acceptance. While my d. would still have applied to NMH, knowing the correct figure might have affected what other schools she applied to. We aimed for a range of acceptances but inadvertently ended up with 2 out of 4 schools being extremely selective.</p>
<p>Also, we were somewhat taken aback to get an email right around admission deadline stating that their financial aid policy revolves around using their dollars to fill out the student body according to their design, and that they wanted us to have this information when evaluating different schools. But no one ever told us this when it was early enough to actually reconsider our selections of schools to visit and apply to!</p>
<p>So I have to say NMH is as selective as any top school yet their financial aid sounds more limited.</p>
