    Holiday Travel Home

    West coast family here. DS '18 has traveled home for Thanksgiving both years. We booked early with direct flights both times.

    No interview?

    Our DS did not attend SLE and the FFR did not interview him. We had virtually no contact with the FFR. If our DS had questions he would email the RC, she was very good at responding quickly. We do not live within driving distance of WP, but made a point of attending all of the Admission...
