It is hard to believe that the 2024-2025 boarding school admissions season is here! Just 4 months ago our clients were receiving their acceptance notifications to schools like Exeter, Andover, Choate, Deerfield, Lawrenceville, Taft, Loomis, Hotchkiss and similar top schools.
We are receiving email inquiries and phone calls from parents who are inquiring about retaining the services of an educational consultant for direct admissions to the ninth grade or for reapplication (because their child was rejected or waitlisted during the last admissions cycle). Many parents who called us were quite surprised when their child was either outright rejected or placed on (perpetual) waitlists last season.
It’s important to note that this admissions cycle (2024-2025) will be hypercompetitive (domestic applications are expected to increase). Why? Because more parents became aware of the benefits and multiple advantages of a boarding school education for their children. Additionally, because of the high number of those rejected (and placed on waitlists) during the last admissions cycle, more students are reapplying for ninth grade as well as 10th grade spots, especially to top boarding schools.
Many parents who believed that their child would be elevated from the waitlist will now have to reapply in 2024-2025 admissions season.
Successful boarding school admissions requires proficiency and experience to understand how to manage risks, navigate pitfalls and design the right admissions strategies. Most importantly success in the admissions process requires an understanding of the admissions policies and professionals who are making admissions decisions – in other words an admissions expert.
