BS Class of 2018 Thread

They go to wherever the applicant lists as the mailing address.

My kids used their home address but most schools do announce online these days.

Emails have gone to DS but the BFEs have come home.

Hooray, @twinsmama . Great that every can relax a bit.

Well … funny kismet to all my goofy questions. Deweykid got an acceptance call (and some merit aid) last night. Phew!!

Yay! Congrats to deweykid!

Congrats @jdewey and @twinsmama, that is great news.

I was wondering how good is everyone experience with the safety school list suggested by prep school counselor. Please let me know. Thanks

DS really liked the schools suggested as solid matches. And we were blown away by how much merit he was offered by them. All of them were terrific options, and only one was on the initial list made with parent help. His CC totally “got” him and what he was looking for. We were impressed (and deeply grateful! )

@gardenstategal was the prep school GC recommended match and safety list assessment for your ds was pretty accurate?

How is the experience of other parents?

@infinityprep1234 – completely accurate. The CC pretty much nailed it in every regard.

Not at all accurate - secretary made it based on GPA and ignoring daughter’s interests. Counselor never corrected it as we had a few of our own finds that were better fits that stayed on the list. DD was accepted with substantial merit at her one safety. Several other safeties were dropped prior to applying after an EA acceptance at a match school she loved arrived.

We never got a list - did all the research ourselves (meaning mostly me).
