I asked some of my current boarding school students what they’d recommend to someone waiting for admissions news, and here’s what they came up with:


Sleep. Sleep a lot. Once you are in boarding school it will seem as if you are never getting enough sleep.
Eat anything other than chicken or pasta. (we were at seated lunch, and it’s true: those are the two things one gets more than anything else here.)
Hug your parents or siblings. There will be some days in boarding school when you just want to hug your family because you had a bad day or you are just feeling a little down.
Come up with a list of why your current school is a great option. Then come up with a list of things you’ll be able to do where you are if you don’t get in/get waitlisted.
Hang out with your home friends while you can. Boarding School definitely makes it harder to see your friends from home.


Good luck to all who are waiting!
