<p>I realllllllly want to see St. Paul's campus. St. Paul's revisit day is the 7th, correct? I'll be in Mass the 6th, and I really want to go see the school while I'm up there. You're talking to a girl who's never been farther north than South Carolina! Think the school would go for it?</p>
<p>I'm soooooo excited about going to BOSTON! Any "don't miss" places in the city?</p>
<p>Idk about SPS, but the ones I know of you can’t…maybe you could see it, but not during a revisit day??? idk</p>
<p>no, it’s only for admitted students. :(</p>
<p>In Cambridge go to Harvard Square- get some bubble tea 
other than that be really tourist-y; look up on Google Boston sights/things to do
Go to Quincy market(get some bubble tea) etc :)</p>
<p>I’m sorry, but revisit days I think are usually invitation only.</p>
<p>I think they are invitational only… 
If you wanted to come up though, I’d be HAPPY to take you around :)</p>
<p>In Boston, Newbury street is a must-see :)</p>

<p>Revisit are typiclaly for accepted kids. If you have not visited SPF before you can visit any other day. Call up the admission and tell them you will be in town and like to vist and see if you can get a tour on non-revist day when you are visiting.</p>

<p>The issue is you may fall in love a school during a visit, and may get disappointed when you are not accepted. Moto is don’t fall in love with any school until you are accepeted and sure to enroll.</p>
<p>bama, dont do it. it will only break your heart.</p>
<p>Aghh, I guess I see neweb’s point. I guess I’ll just have to let SPS go!</p>
<p>I think I’m going to email the admission office and remove my name from the waitlist, just so months from now I won’t be at my fabulous non HADES prep school and be like “I wonder what would have happened…” you know? I was accepted to two great schools, and I’m looking forward to visiting them. Who knows? I may have hated St. Paul’s anyway.</p>
<p>There’s no rush to take your name off the waitlist.
You could at least wait until you have concluded your revisits at the other two schools.</p>
<p>I agree with catg. SPS is stunningly beautiful. Think Bellingrath without the azaleas. It would be heartbreaking. Love the schools that love you.</p>

<p>I agree no rush to take you name off the WL, because there is no downside in keeping you name on the WL. Still it is too early to see how things play out. </p>
<p>Focus and plan on revisiting schools you got accepted and make a decision and enroll by April 10 before you loose your acceptance offer.</p>
<p>Ditto. (Yay Ghost Reference!) I think SPS’s campus is incredible. The chapel is by far the most beautiful I have ever seen. Period. It made me fall in love, and now I can’t give up. O MUST GET IN!!! I hope you do too bama. BTW where are you from? I know in the south but where. I happen to be from NEPA. I’m what they call a “coalcracker.” While Southern people say Y’all, I say “drawl” and “sawl”. Hope to see you at SPS!</p>
<p>HopefullAtHill- Look at the username. ;)</p>
<p>bay area, massachusetts ? :D</p>
<p>your username reminds me of obama :)</p>
<p>You should visit St. Paul’s, which is the advice I give to any hopeful candidate. The walk to admissions from the parking lot is the most beautiful of any school visited-takes you around a small lake to an impressive stone block building. Take notes, notes and more notes and your own pictures. They will be the best source when you sit back and compare the schools back down south. Write a top ten list of what is important to you before you go and grade each school and note why. Note your first impression, what was good, bad and indifferent to you. Andover was on my short list too apply. Even interviewed when they were in my town. After touring the schools my short list changed. Didn’t even finish the Andover application, not because it isn’t a wonderful school, it is, just too big for me. We preferred Deerfield, also on our short list and added a school that wasn’t on our short list-The Taft School. All are beautiful, yet all have a different feel. This is a match, school to you, and you to school. Best of luck getting in your favorite.</p>
<p>I felt the same about Andover. Wonderful school but once I visited I knew it wasn’t right for me.</p>
<p>what was it that made you feel it wasn’t right for you?</p>
<p>if its really your first choice and youre in the neighborhood then you should go ry to meet with the admissions director, explain why you are there and that its your first choice. \you never know, perhaps they put you on the wl precisely because you never visited and they dont know how interested you are</p>
