^^ Okay, this is becoming more clear to me. It makes sense. My son indeed is at a JBS right in the thick of things, with strong ties to the BS community, so doubtless they will want everything to end up looking good, well after the specific kids are long gone. I can understand that.

It makes it easier since we are not really pushing for just the top-ranked school or bust. We do get that it is about fit, for the best of all concerned. We don’t want to be flattered with a list that is too much ‘reach’ and not enough ‘match’. It does make me curious, though, why mamakiwi’s son’s #1 school was not on the list before Sept…why it was missed by the placement office the first go-round?
