Don't boarding schools sometimes have legacy policies as well (i.e. dumber daughter of rich generous alumnus may get in over smarter daughter of nobody) and don't they sometimes have a "post-graduate" year - in effect a 13th grade - for students who aren't ready for college?
(Disclaimer: The sum total of my real-life boarding school experience is a HS classmate who went to Kiski Prep.)
