<p>Thanks Jennycraig. Someone with some experience in the matter. Perhaps my post was a bit too strong.</p>
<p>Dancelovex3: NMH has apparently in the past taken late applications, so you may be in good shape. However, they reported a 20% increase in applications, so who knows. Have you taken the SSAT? Looked at schools’ applications on the web and started thinking about essays? Thought about teachers to give you recommendations? Trust me, there is a LOT of work involved in the process. I wish our family had started earlier, so I can only imagine how hard it will be applying as a late applicant.</p>
<p>I don’t know your personal situation about why you really want to go to boarding school in the fall, and I am sure that you have good reasons. But, besides doing late applications now, you may also want to consider remaining at your current school, and then doing regular applications for next year. Just be sure to explore all your options.</p>
