Handling the Admissions Letters

The long awaited admissions letters are mailed in March for schools which have January and February deadlines. How do you respond to the contents of those letters? Read Brian Fisher's advice on how to handle this important part of the school search process.

What if your child is wait listed? Here's what to do if that happens.

What if your child is rejected? Don't panic. Follow this strategy.

Beginning the Process

March is also a great month in which to begin the school search process for fall admission 16 months from now. There is also still time to get your child into school for this fall if that is what is required. Don't delay. You will need to contact schools immediately. An educational consultant will be invaluable if you are going this route.
