<p>I heard that some schools accept applicants past the dead line for applications. I heard this is called the second round. Are these second round applicants grouped with the wait list applicants? Or otherwise?</p>
<p>Could someone provide more information on this?</p>
<p>Well it's like applying for the waitlist, sort of.</p>
<p>The SSAT site publishes a list in April of schools that still have openings: SSAT</a> - SCCA List</p>
<p>Most boarding schools don't fill up on April 10th and continue the search for students into May, or sometimes even July, and some of them never fill up at all, and will take students mid-year. If you are talking about the top 15 or 20 schools which are mentioned on here most often, they may allow you to apply for the wait list, and sometimes that works out.</p>
<p>Schools like Kent and Loomis often have spaces available in the spring, but usually won't post it on the SCCA list mentioned before. Many schools are reluctant to post there so it isn't the most accurate, but a good start.</p>
