<p>When my son applied, I planned everything based on geography and timing. For example Deerfield and Andover were scheduled on back-to-back days. In some cases I was able to book two interviews on the same day (Hotchkiss and Taft) for example.</p>
<p>My son’s school counted these absences as “unexcused”. So to avoid having him miss too many days, I scheduled several of these interviews during days on which his school was closed, but that the BS was open: staff inservice days, teacher convention, etc. </p>
<p>So bottom line: start planning out your fall now. Get your current school calendar and compare the open dates for interview slots at the schools you are interested. Pin them all on a map and see which you can schedule on back-to-back days. As soon as the BS admissions offices open up in September, call and book! The best days are filled up quickly.</p>
