<p>I know it's not April 10th yet, so some of you still might be torn between a few schools, but for those of you who know, tell everyone where you've decided to go! </p>

<p>Let's make a list so we can all stay in touch with the out future classmates, and in parentheses, say which grade you'll be in!</p>

<p>Here's an example of one with fake usernames (I understand some of these are probably in use but let's not dwell on that haha):</p>

<p>Exeter: JohnDoe777 (9), boarding4lyfee (11)
Choate: youreastar5 (9)
Cate: googoogaga (10), luvpeacehearts (9), poopypants (9)</p>

<p>Add your school if you don't see it on the list! I'll start it! also major note: ** SIMPLY ADD WHICH SCHOOL YOU'RE GOING TO THERE'S NO NEED FOR MEANINGLESS CONVERSATION SORRY IF THIS SEEMS RUDE I LOVE ALL OF YOU BUT JUST NO **</p>

<p>You got me. </p>

<p>Might be more useful to use the pinned “Decisions” thread at the top of the board to add one more decision field. Perhaps if you append “Attending: <school> (grade)”, it would enrich that thread with “closure” rather than starting a new thread for just one piece of information. Just a suggestion.</school></p>

<p>@ChoatieMom a lot of people have possibly changed their minds so that is why @boardingjunkie created this thread.</p>

6

<p>Serious question: Do you think many people change their mind based on revisits?</p>

<p>needtoboard: People are free to change their minds, just update the Decisions thread as posters were doing all day M10 and after. I’m just suggesting that adding “Attending” to the original thread makes it even more useful. People could post in both places if they want to see the attending information in both formats.</p>

<p>7D: Perhaps we need a new thread. :P</p>

<p>I used the revisit to confirm my gut feeling. </p>

<p>@SevenDad, my DD did a 100% turnaround based on her revisit days. I was totally shocked, but she gave a very clear explanation, and I do agree that it is the right choice for her. So I support her choice, but now I have to get onboard with it….</p>

<p>@SevenDad‌ Can I ask which schools you revisited?</p>

11

<p>@ISpy42 Is it A or E? :)</p>

<p>Great discussion. The search function is so cumbersome and the fact that this is current info is great. so helpful to a newcomer and I am so glad for new info. </p>
