<p>We also found out indirectly (last year) through a coach who sent an email saying “it looks good, it’s all up to the fa office now!” This came a couple of weeks before March 10 so I took it to mean he had been admitted.</p>
<p>PA-C hit the nail on the head. I believe at least.</p>
<p>I agree with PA-C as well.</p>
<p>PA-C: I don’t know about protecting yield because, quite frankly, he doesn’t have a first choice. Each school has their strengths and weakness using his criteria. After revisits, it will be a difficult last-minute decision. This year, though, he has to decide because he’s in the last grade offered at his current school.</p>
<p>He’s attractive to schools because he’s smart (top of his class at a well known private school and feeder to prep schools), athletic (huge impact on 2 varsity sports), speaks 4 languages, a few other great ECs, and excellent leadership/community service.</p>
<p>We chose not to send him last year because he lacked time management and organizational skills. He had no sense of time or planning skills. He’s improved significantly this year, but still has a ways to go. This is why he’ll repeat ninth grade next year as a boarder.</p>
<p>Wow- good for him! he should do well for college wherever he ends up!<br>
My son does not have those kinds of sports stats.</p>
