Does anyone have questions about making a list of schools to apply to? Interviews?
I recently heard from a family that visited several selective boarding schools and had wonderful interactions with the admissions team. The father told me that one admissions director was so kind and complimentary that surely their student would be accepted and this school should be considered a safety. But I reminded him that the school has not seen his son’s grades, testing, or teacher recs yet. They also have not seen the entire applicant pool yet. Admissions interviewers meet many families who they love, but have difficult choices of who to accept in March. I like to point this out to families and ask them to be sure they have some back up options in case the very selective schools don’t work out.
