I've realized how much I want to go to a boarding school, but my parents have already paid the application fees and aren't letting me swap or add any schools. I'm only using the Gateway application. What can I do?

Prep School Admissions

I can only observe that that your list is exclusively low admit schools, in a year with more applicants.

You need to add some schools that have a higher admit rate. Explain that you might have a better chance of getting in, and be considered more desirable (financial aid).

Also, ask for application fee waivers, based on your financial need. Your parents can’t complain about additional cost if there is none. :wink:
