<p>Fairly soon, the SSAT organization will start posting “schools currently considering applications.” SSAT Member Information</p>
<p>If you are a full pay family, and your child is very bright, you may be able to find a school this year. I think it would be worthwhile to call schools you might be interested in, to see if they would accept a “late application.” I suspect many admissions directors might be willing to bend the rules for someone who’s late.</p>
<p>I’ll quote another poster on this site, Newyorker22:</p>
<p>Quote:
Most boarding schools don’t fill up on April 10th and continue the search for students into May, or sometimes even July, and some of them never fill up at all, and will take students mid-year. If you are talking about the top 15 or 20 schools which are mentioned on here most often, they may allow you to apply for the wait list, and sometimes that works out.</p>
<p>Schools like Kent and Loomis often have spaces available in the spring, but usually won’t post it on the SCCA list mentioned before. Many schools are reluctant to post there so it isn’t the most accurate, but a good start.
Rolling admissions? Late applicants?</p>
<p>As I recall, someone last year claimed to have had good responses from schools after March…oh, here it is: Now that it is mid-April and the dust is settling, I wish to tell my story. You should read this thread! </p>
