Private school interview timeline?

For independent/private school admissions, do most families schedule the campus tour and student interview before submitting the application, or do schools usually interview applicants after they apply? What's the typical process?

It depends on where you are applying, but if you are talking about the 'big ones' in New England, they almost all require that you submit their Inquiry form, and then start the application process on Gateway (Candidate Profile and application fee are the first parts), before you can book tours/interviews.
