do "average joes" get into boarding schools (such as GLADCHEMMS)? when i read all the chance me posts, i see people with 10 million extra curriculars and perfect grades. my grades arent jaw-drop amazing, and my extra-curriculars are pretty normal (violin, soccer). im really worried now, do i still have i chance?
To get into the most selective schools I think you need to be a better-than-average Joe.
You don't need to walk-on-water, but it would certainly help. Being a 3rd generation legacy whose family has donated a dorm or library building to the school also helps.
