@Altras @cababe97 Good feedback, so I will refer to Taft and Loomis as feasible target schools. From an academic profile standpoint (SAT, SSAT, matriculation) I would prefer not to look at schools that have lower stats than Loomis and Taft. Otherwise best to stay at current day school and do club sports, and reapply next year if need be. It’s not “boarding school or broke” in my household. It’s more “boarding school is ideal if academics and sports align” or stay at current school, which is a crazy academic place but not a lot else.
