<p>Just substitute “Boarding School” for “college.”</p>
<p>Don’t know why this is languishing on page two . . . guess it’s been a busy day today. The article neato references is a great cautionary tale for all BS applicants.</p>
<p>It is oh-so-easy to be seduced by the encouraging words of an AO and to put all one’s energy into the application for the school that “loves” you, or to give up entirely on the school whose AO seemed “wishy-washy” or flat out disinterested during your interview. I know it’s happened in our household . . . don’t let it happen to you!</p>
<p>you just put my hopes down.</p>
<p>Nothing wrong with hope . . . as long as you don’t use it as an excuse for not putting your best efforts into all your applications!</p>
<p>i think its nice that some bs are sending out christmas cards its a nice gester showing they care, i enjoyed andovers online card!</p>
<p>@deerhotch,
Andover’s online card was the best! The music on it was really good!</p>
<p>andover’s admissions office is a marketing tour de force!</p>
<p>I don’t know about you, Neato, but around here, our kid’s been receiving holiday cards. ;)</p>
