is it TOO LATE to apply for a PG year!?!?

Prep School Admissions
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I’m really worried about my college acceptances and I was wondering if it was too late to apply to top prep schools for a postgraduate year so I can reapply to colleges next fall instead. (Andover, Exeter, etc. all had deadlines in January) If so, what are some good prep schools that are still available to apply to?</p>

<p>Basic Stats:
GPA: 3.71 UW, 4.2W (7 APs taken)
SAT: 720 610 750 (2080)</p>

<p>Some schools are on a rolling basis. I would strongly suggest Loomis Chaffee. It is very good academically and they have a good athletics program. It is also known as a very prestigious school.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure you can apply as a late applicant, which would put you into an even more competitive pool than you usually would be with top-tier schools. I would recommend that you apply to some less competitive schools as well so that your chances of admission are greater.</p>

<p>PG spots do fill up. But wouldn’t hurt to ask. And if you’re projected to be the next Keith Elias, surely all the schools will have a spot for you. :-;</p>

<p>Schools will always look at late applicants. The odds aren’t great, but you aren’t prohibited from applying. Go ahead and see what happens.</p>

<p>There will be a number of students who will be applying for PG spots to very competitive boarding schools after April 1 for the exact reason you are inquiring. Schools anticipate this.</p>
