Even if you are a day student, you won’t really have time to do much outside of school. It’s classes til like 3ish, sports til 5-5:30, dinner, clubs then homework.
The amount of students enrolled divided by the amount of students accepted multiplied by 100 is the yield percentage.
Yield percentage is how many of the accepted kids actually enroll.
From the compiled admission results, it seems that Andover has most waitlisted students. Is that because it’s size or Andover is “nicer” than other schools, so it rejects more students softly?
@required3 If anything, Deerfield is “nicest.” They waitlist as many as they reject.
So I guess it’s “nicer” when a school accepts you but waitlists you for FA?
Well its pretty nice if they accept you!
@Goat4fun I’d rather be accepted with no FA because it tells me that there’s nothing I could’ve done differently.
Hellloooo! 
Here’s an update from my last post, in which I stressed over not getting into any boarding school…
My end result is… rejected from Exeter and Lawrenceville, and wait listed in Andover, Choate, Concord, St. Paul’s, and Middlesex.
The thing is, I’m not as upset as I thought I’d be.

For now, I am looking at how to get off of the wait list. I know the chances are close to zero, but have any of you ever gotten off a wait list. Either if it’s getting off the wait list from the schools I am also currently wait listed from, or from a different school, it’d help so much if you’d post tips on what you did.
Did you update them on your achievements? Write a lot about why you want to get in?
Overall, thank you all so much for your help!
I hope this also helps anyone else who is also looking to get off of the wait list from a different school.
@ofjennifers I sincerely hope that get off the wait list and attend a BS in the coming fall.
@skieurope I have a question and hope you can answer, once you send your contract with the deposit, are you liable for the entire year’s tuition or forfeit just the deposit amount if for some reason you are not able to attend the school?
You forfeit the deposit and break your commitment.
@TryYourBest1 There is a contract form which your parents sign and send with the deposit. In that form is listed a date around June 1st or June 15th after which you are liable for the entire tuition.
@TryYourBest1, each school is different. You need to read the enrollment contract. I just looked at a couple of the schools DD was accepted. At one, if you change your plans before August 1, you only forfeit the deposit. For the other, it looks like you’re committing to pay the full year tuition, regardless.
In practice I seriously doubt that schools will come after you for the entire tuition, but you are out the deposit. I do not thing that breaking a contract is the right and honorable thing to do for the record. I am just saying that schools are not suing families for the full tuition payment if they break the contract.
Did anyone count the numbers of accepted, waitlisted and rejected from Andover and Exeter on the decisions thread?
Here is what I got, Andover: 5, 24,and 7; Exeter: 10, 17, and 8.
Even though the pool size on CC is relatively small, but obviously, both school put most of applicants on the waitlist.
@required3 I did the same thing earlier!! Got the same results, pretty much. It’s kind of sad for a waitlisted applicant. 
@required3 - keep in mind that not only is the sample small, it is also not random or representative. Waitlisters and acceptees are much more likely to post their stats than those who are rejected. I promise you in overall numbers, the rejections are the largest of the three categories…
@ofjennifers, All you can do is make sure the AOs know that you haven’t been accepted anywhere, that you want to stay on the wait list, and that you really and truly love the school. It is not impossible to get off a wait list, but it is highly unlikely. Do your best, but then accept reality when you must. Either way, you will go to high school and you will do fine. Good luck!
So going back to tuition,
The April 10th deadline has no effect then? If I go with Salem Witches institute in April 10th, then in May or something, I get an offer from Hogwarts, I can skip out of Salem and go to Hogwarts?
Granted, I m
@myrealname23 You (really your parents) lose their deposit, which is a big chunk of change, and unless they have more dollars than sense, is not something they are apt to do.
