There are many seasoned parents, but not many of them are keen to respond to the chance threads.

And you guys can’t guess why? Chance threads are a waste of time at best. Parents are more eager to answer specific questions about boarding school life, academics, etc. because this can help you make good decisions whether or not to apply, and where. We are eager to answer questions about the admission process and share experiences about what it takes to get in. We also keep encouraging you to use the search option of CC and take advantage of years of good advice by students and parents alike. If you do that, you will know that applying to acronym schools with below-average SSAT scores, FA needs, and no real “hook” (URS, URM, legacy, development case, impact athlete) is a gamble. A fellow applicant telling you otherwise doesn’t change that.

I hope my rant helps. Here is some more on the topic: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-admissions/1796843-applying-to-selective-boarding-schools-in-2015-16-app-cycle-read-this-p1.html.
