<p>o yeah and im not applying for financial aid</p>

<p>applying for Exeter, Andover, Deerfield, Choate, Stevenson, Cate</p>

<p>Stevenson is a safety and you have a shot at the others. Do NOT go to Stevenson, it’s a far cry from the others. Their advising system sucks, their facilities don’t compare (pathetic endowment) and not in the same league as the others…</p>

<p>suze, I don’t think you should directly tell someone not to go to a particular school. You obviously have strong opinions about it, which is fine, but remember that just because you find it to be a weak school doesn’t mean that it’s bad for everyone.
Andover, Exeter, Deerfield, and Choate are all high reaches, but your academics are quite impressive. Cate is still a reach; I guess Stevenson is a match/safety. You’ll just have to wait and see. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>thanks
I only applyed to stevenson and cate as safety i love the east coast schools</p>

6

<p>Funny you play the baritone. I do too, but I haven’t found anyone that does until now. You sound like a great candidate</p>

7

<p>how long have you played the baritone i only started this year
i used to play trombone so i know the base cleff pretty well
Its a lot easier to get around than the trombone thats for sure</p>

8

<p>Sorry Kitty, but I have known 6 people who went there and found it lacking. I’,m sure pepto has the smarts to know what anyone writes here is just an opinion. Lighten up before you get to school!</p>

9

<p>what were those links for some reason my computer couldnt open it</p>

10

<p>I’ve played for 4 years. and im kinda experimenting with the trombone i got from my cousin</p>

11

<p>do you play in a school band? i played trombone for 2 years prior, it gets frustrating because it is harder to play quick music</p>

12

<p>wow you’re a great candidate (that baritone part will reallly set yoou apart). go wherever you want! good luck. stay humble… lol.</p>

13

<p>PS i like your username</p>

14

<p>Sorry, suze. Didn’t mean to jump on you. I’m glad that you’re sharing your experiance with Stevenson. :)</p>

15

<p>I’ve been in a lot of bands. I had no choice there was no one else who played baritone in my school. I do some jazz, gr 9 band, as well as senior groups.</p>

16

<p>sounds cool i havent done jazz, just concert band music</p>

17

<p>I think you’ll get in everywhere. :)</p>

18

<p>What summer program at Exeter did you go to? I didn’t know there were any available for pre-high schoolers.</p>

<p>Its a program called Access Exeter, Its for kids going into 8th and 9th
Its divided into 5 clusters:
American History in War, Creative Writing, Marine Biology, A global Community( learn languages things like that), I did the Problem Solving Cluster, it consisted of problem solving math, commuter programming in Java, and physics</p>
