Thought I should try this in the parents section as I did not get a response on the other forums. Confused as to whether to apply for my d in 8th or 9th grade. She wants to go to Groton. She originally wanted to go in 9th so we were planning on that but now she wants to go in the 8th and I am not sure if she will be able to put her best foot forward this year rather than next year. Anyone know what the acceptence rate is at Groton in the 8th grade vs the 9th grade? Also if you get rejected in the 8th grade does that mean you have no shot at getting in in the 9th grade. The reason I ask is if you are not that prepared to apply in 8th would you just wait and only apply in 9th or try your luck in the 8th grade? Any suggestions would help. Not too many Groton people on these forums I guess… Thx for your help.
