<p>My son was went through this process last year. He only applied to 3 schools and was not offered admission at any of them in March. We were all set to keep him home another year and try again. Then I found this site and realized that boarding school was still a possibility. I discovered that there is a whole “2nd round of admissions” that takes place in April/May at a number of great schools (not all of them advertise this). If you are truly interested for next year, it is not too late; especially for an athlete. You can even have your child take the SSAT again in April. Do some research on the type of school that would be a good fit for your child and get on the phone. We called Admission Office’s directly in the end of April and by May we had choices. Good Luck!</p>
