Thanks for sharing your perspective. We are trying to pick the “better, best” among these schools with the goal of finding the best fit. Son is currently at another prep school and had interacted with students from all three schools. Based on our conversions with families, all three schools seem to be a good fit, and that’s why we are applying. We have had pretty positive interviews with some other boarding/day schools that are typically considered the most rigorous ones. We will tour and interview at the three day schools next. Based on son’s experience at his current school and feedbacks from the schools that we have done interviews with, son should be able to meet the academic requirement at any of the schools. He will be recruited and play sports, so there are indeed other factors that we need to consider, and possibly some trade-offs to make. At this point, we are trying to learn as much as possible, especially on the academic side, to help us figure out the best fit if he is lucky to have a few options.

Thank you again for all the responses. I understand that people have different experiences and perspectives, but what I have read so far has been very helpful. If anyone else has more to share, please post or PM. Thank you!
