<p>I understand that. Where did your parents attend HS is asked on all BS applications. But some applicants will (unfortunately) disclose all the schools they’re applying to during the interview (and sometimes on an app). Disclosing that info never benefits the applicant. Sure, they’ll see the parent’s boarding school on the app, but they can only guess if the child applied there or not. It’s never a good thing for an applicant to say (confirm) they’re also applying to Mom or Dad’s school. It’s noted and put in the applicant’s file… and the AO conversation (at decision time) can easily turn into: Hey, this kid is probably going to get accepted to Dad’s school. Let’s take this other kid. </p>
<p>What’s that Godfather saying? Never tell anyone outside the family what you’re thinking… </p>
