Every year on March 10, families around the world anxiously refresh their inboxes, waiting for decisions from top U.S. boarding schools. Schools like Phillips Academy Andover and Phillips Exeter Academy admit only a small percentage of applicants, making the process both exciting and stressful for students and parents.
This year, our students received offers from multiple top U.S. boarding and Boston day schools. We emphasize precision in school selection and individualized application strategies. This approach helps students apply to schools that truly match their academic strengths, personal interests, and long-term goals. The results from this cycle reflect the real value of that philosophy.

Students from Diverse Educational Backgrounds
Another encouraging aspect of this year’s results is the diversity of student backgrounds. Ivy Talent students came from a wide range of educational systems, including:
- U.S. junior boarding schools such as Fay School, The Bement School, The Fessenden School, and Hillside School
- Private schools in Canada
- International schools in Hong Kong
- Local schools in cities such as Shanghai and Beijing
Each student had a unique academic profile and personal story. Our goal is always to help students achieve the strongest possible results within their individual potential, while ensuring that their school choices align with their academic interests and personal development.
Final Thoughts for Families Applying to U.S. Private Schools
Congratulations to all the students who received offers this year. At Ivy Talent Education, every student’s story matters. The application journey involves months of preparation. Families invest time and effort into school research, extracurricular planning, essay development, and interview preparation. These cumulative efforts are what ultimately lead to successful outcomes.
It is also important to remember that March 10 is not the final chapter of the admissions season. Many top boarding schools maintain waitlists, and additional offers may be released as families finalize their enrollment decisions in the coming weeks. In previous years, Ivy Talent students have received exciting offers later in the process through waitlist movement.
Our team will continue to monitor admissions updates and help students navigate possible opportunities. If you would like guidance on waitlist strategies or late admissions opportunities, feel free to contact us. Our admissions consultants would be happy to help families explore the next steps.
