March 10th is typically private school “D” (decision) day. Schools mail their letters of acceptance, rejection, or they invite applicants to be on their wait list.
The letters arrive after many months, if not year’s worth of work for parents and students in selecting schools, preparing for the entrance exams (for middle and high school admission) and work on applications and essays.
Our families typically have lots of good news in March, because they were very well prepared. They did their homework in evaluating schools that were a good fit for their child, their child was prepared for the test and scored high on the exam, and their applications, essays and recommendations were stellar. They won the arms race that is the private school admission process in most competitive urban areas in America.
We wait with baited breath for the results later this week, and we wish all families checking the mail box and e-mail in-box every 5 minutes this week only good news!
