<p>@UKgirl23 Great!! </p>

<p>@GoldenRatio :slight_smile: of course IF- I get into one schools, the big day is just 2 days ahead us! :D</p>

<p>I’ve only told one person at my school and he is applying to different schools than I am. I’ve told none of my friends. I don’t really know what I’ll do if I get in to any of the schools I applied to. I haven’t planned what I’ll do. I think there will be less drama if I wait until after school ends. But I’m just happy to know that I’m not the only person that didn’t tell everyone.</p>

23

<p>I told only a few friends first, but word got out, and people just throw reasons I should stay at me every second of the day! Even though I told them I’m not getting in, they insist I will. Also, I’m being ostracized by my closest friends for “leaving them”!</p>

24

<p>Well when you leave that school your make new friends. Believe me if I got into VS so will you and I did terrible on the Maths test. What test do you do in America in THE UK we do Science,Maths,Verbal Reasoning, Comphersion, English</p>

25

<p>We do the ISEE or SSAT or SAT depending on the grade we’re applying to</p>

26

<p>I started out only telling some of my closest friends, but of course they told people, those people told people, and so on. I feel like most people know now. lol</p>

<p>It’s rather annoying to me how everyone thinks I will definitely get in just because I have straight As or something. I don’t think they understand how hard it is to get into these schools honestly. It’s going to be quite awkward if I am rejected and have to tell everyone.</p>

<p>

@20alison16 Exactly!!! I feel like I have an enormous amount of pressure on me to get accepted because people think that only excelling in school matters for admission :confused: It’ll be so hard telling people if I’m rejected because they think that there’s no way I won’t get in</p>

28

<p>Don’t feel bad if you didn’t tell anyone. I only told a few people I was going to a boarding school. My teachers don’t even know I’m here :P</p>

29

<p>Hahaha orangesrule108 how did you get recs?</p>

30

<p>At first I kept it quiet but then the teachers I had to tell bc of recs started asking me about applications in front of my friends. :frowning: things got awkward quickly… But when I told my two best friends they were so incredibly supportive! I’m going to miss them so much when-- I mean if-- (come on kath don’t jinx yourself now of all days!) I go to boarding school</p>

31

<p>Aww I’m so happy to know you’re friends were supportive!</p>

32

<p>Yeah, the funny thing is that I have another friend who’s the exact opposite, but I have realized she just isn’t a good friend-- it’s amazing what people’s reactions say about them</p>

33

<p>I guess my friends aren’t true friends after all, then…</p>

34

<p>Aww I didn’t mean to offend you… Sorry? Unless of course you don’t like them either</p>

35

<p>You know I shouldn’t have said that. Really sorry</p>

36

<p>LOL, it’s okay. My friends and I have started drifting apart. I seem to be the only one truly focused on my future, etc. :slight_smile: I like your honesty-keep it up!</p>

37

<p>Athenarocks I think GoldenRatio knows you didn’t mean it like that :)</p>

38

<p>Thanks guys</p>

39

<p>My good friends are very supportive, but I’ve had a few people get weirdly angry with me, sort of taking it personally. And then there are a few people who’ve befriended me since they found out I got in, as I’m currently at a girls’ school but going to a prestigious mixed school known (among other things) for the wealth of its students.</p>
