Just graduated and I got the inside scoop on the incoming prep school class, so have at it.
Hello:
How does the re-application process work?
1. For Thanksgiving, what time can you leave the Prep? I'm trying to book flights to the East Coast and it's not easy
2. What are things that a cadet would want from home for Parents' weekend?
Thank you.
What should I pack? I'm almost finished with my paper work for P. Do they give us a list of what we should bring?
Thanks!
Another question from my DD: are you allowed to bring your own boots for BMT? If so, are the ones they give you good or do you suggest getting your own and what brand do you recommend?
Thanks, Boozebin, but I was hoping one of the kids had more specific info about the LMD. If I know when the last possible release time is, then I can figure out if she will make it to the airport for the last night flights wait for the morning.
With the boots, I've seen parents have very strong opinions either way 'bring only what they tell you' v 'get your own', but the kids seldom comment (and one day I'll stop thinking about the cadets as kids). DD is in a chat group with incoming preppies and a few former ones and many of them suggest that the boots they give you aren't good. It's why I was looking for opinions here on the subject.
Thanks Boozebin!
One last question, do they check our bags?
