<p>Hi, this is my first post here ... I've been lurking and have searched unsuccessfully for answers to my question, so I'm finally going to post.</p>
<p>My ds14 and I came rather late to the BS application process. BS had just never occurred to us, but we live in a remote rural area, and the public schools are so terrible that we took him out to homeschool for 7th and 8th grade. It was fine for a while, but this fall it became clear that we couldn't go through high school like this -- for many reasons, one of them simply being that we are far too isolated. </p>
<p>Long story short, we didn't start the application process until January, and had to work like mad to get everything ready by the deadlines. So we didn't do the usual school visits, etc. It was only <em>after</em> I sent in the applications that we started trying to line up visits and interviews -- and then we both got the flu and everything was delayed again. I finally called St. Paul's School about a week ago, after we had received a letter saying that the application was complete and providing instructions on how to access decisions on 3/10. I asked about coming to visit and interviewing, etc. I was told that we had missed the "window" for interviewing but that the admissions office had decided to consider applications complete as long as all the paperwork was in order. </p>
<p>I know that I am completely responsible for having missed the deadlines, etc., so I'm quibbling about it -- I'm just wondering if he still actually has a chance? Do they <em>ever</em> accept kids they haven't interviewed?</p>
<p>Some of the schools my ds 14 is applying to are very "safe" for him, so I'm sure he'll get in somewhere; however sps is a nice idea, so I'm just wondering if there's a chance.</p>
<p>If anyone has any insight, I'd be glad if you'd share it. Thanks!</p>
