i'm telling you, stay away from boarding school. i know most of you think it's great, but it isn't. many of you are probably being pushed into it by your parents; do everything in your power to avoid going. best thing is probably to bomb the interviews hard. but do what you have to. for the love of god, don't get sucked into it. especially if you are not some blue blood east coast wasp type. for every 1 person that likes it, there are about 10 people who hate it.

the admissions advantage is bs as well. you can get into harvard, yale etc. from any high school; boarding schools are just good at hand-holding. all the information you need is right here on these forums. the vast majority of my classmates did not end up at hyp, and a good percentage have burnt out hard. this is a common thing for prep school grads.

you have been warned.
