<p>I’m assuming that you would really like to be on a competitive math team. If so, you should talk to the team coach at the schools to which you apply. That way, you can be assured that the team is what you want. If impressed, the coach might let admissions know that you would be a good addition.</p>
<p>You can go to <a href=“http://www.schools.com%5B/url%5D”>www.schools.com</a> and do an advanced search for math club. I did this, and 119 schools came up. You should search through this list for schools that interest you. BTW, Blair shows 21 clubs on this list, including the math club and computer club. If you using boardingschoolreview, it is a great reference, but sometimes not very complete or up to date.</p>
<p>Excellent. Thank you, I will definitely use that as a precise reference when needed.</p>
<p>Are there any schools (almost) exclusively focused on Science and Math, other than NCSSM (I live close by :))? It is too bad NCSSM isn’t 4 year. </p>
<p>But sophomore year too important to be spending at my current school.</p>
<p>I don’t know of any independent (non-public) boarding schools that focus on science and math. They all seem to prepare students for liberal arts colleges which require exposure to many academic disciplines. Some, like Exeter, are stronger in science and math. I cannot comment on the science & math school you posted, but it certainly looks intriguing. If you decide to look at a boarding school in the south, take a look at Baylor. I have no special insight into it, but it looks beautiful, and it is well endowed. Take a close look at Loomis. I hear it’s strong in science and math.</p>
<p>I have researched Baylor a bit, and indeed it seems very intriguing. Loomis seems to have a very strong mathematics and computer science department.</p>
<p>Muahahahahahahahahaaaahaaaa. I think I have a good essay here. :)</p>
<p>Does anyone want to edit an introduction for one my essays?</p>
<p>ohhh, editing! Can I help you too? (even though, I really just want to see your style and level of writing)</p>
<p>Well, now, all your hopes will be diminished. 
I will send it soon, need to finish up a few things.</p>
<p>Send it to me, too… I like editing writing. (Redline, redline)</p>
<p>Ugh. I feel life dying right now. Someone get a brick. -_-</p>
<p>Is something wrong?</p>
<p>Long story short, my English teacher, combined with my other teachers, usually gives massive amounts of homework. Recently, I’ve had to write a story, on which I earned a horrible (very, very bad) grade. On top of this. with this, I have many after school dedications, one of which I have an interview for tomorrow (with my English teacher.) Then, I have the added comfort of scheduling interviews and SSAT preparation. To top it off, I have several boarding school applications (which my teachers do not know of) to try and take care of, while juggling a self-study of PreCal\Cal. On days with clubs, I do not get home by at least 5 P.M. Also, I am having spasms that I’ve noticed near my shoulders and neck.
And finally, a major headache. :)</p>
<p>I hope you feel better. For the SSAT, if you are the type of person who tests well, all you really need to do is take a practice test. That way, you will know how to pace yourself. You should focus on the interview appointments when you can. Most schools ask you to not give out recommendations until mid-November at the earliest – so don’t worry about that now. My 2 cents on the English teacher – ask her how you can improve the essay and ask her if you can submit a rewrite. Remember that she will be writing a recommendation for you so you want a good relationship.
Focus on keeping your grades up now. Save time over Thanksgiving and Xmas break to work on your applications.</p>
<p>Usually, I can just spontaneously come up with an answer based upon deduction and elimination. I’ve been scoring fairly high in some practice tests that I’ve taken, so hopefully within the next month I can further improve in the area of the SSAT.
I will ask her tomorrow if I can rewrite the story. I turned it in half-finished. 
Hopefully, a good impression will be made tomorrow during the interview.</p>
<p>And as always, there are grades. I abhor English worksheets with passion. -_-
Thank you for your advice.</p>
<p>I beasted my Poetry Club interview. 
I had to stand in front of 25 people, where they would ask random questions. I improved the whole thing and amazingly it went really well. I was, however, sweating a freakin pig.</p>
<p>I didn’t know you were in a poetry club??? When we talked before, you said you had no idea what a poetry club was:D</p>
<p>Do you think that my ‘distinct’ writing style differentiates me, or does one merely see it as queer? :D</p>
<p>Your writing style is unique – some will like it and some won’t.</p>
<p>Let us hope the majority lies within the former.
Ah, I overuse and abuse smilies far too often.
By the way, thank you for your analysis of my piece. The intriguing fact is that I have several more of these to write. <em>D’oh.</em> :p</p>
<p>If you are submitting 2 essays to a school, why not write one in the pure Chaos style and the other in the conventional style? That way, admissions will know that you can write in a conventional manner as well.</p>
