<p>Many boarding schools have a Feb. 1st deadline for admissions applications. I know that is what it is at Blair, but I don't know it for the other MAPL schools, but the deadline is probably around Feb 1st. These schools are Blair, Hill, Lawrenceville, Peddie, Mercersburg and the Hun School. Lawrenceville is the most prestigious of the group, and many would rank it with the usual suspects. Hun School has a low percent boarding. There are many other great schools beyond the MAPL. As a group the MAPL schools are wonderful but just not in New England so they are off the radar of many.</p>
