Losing your chance for boarding school?

<p>Who here at CC thinks that they’ll lost their chance to go to boarding school because of the other over-achieving, walking resumes, that are surely being accepted to your school of choice? I do!</p>

<p>why hello there! it seems we share a similar…predicament.</p>

<p>this kid, right here…D=</p>

<p>this girl does.</p>

<p>Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee</p>

<p>Buuuuut, if everyone thinks this way, than maybe we have a chance?</p>

<p>jyun… you have one C and all As plus you’re a football recruit…you’re totally going to get in. stop second guessing yourself. you’re DEF a wayyyyyy better candidate than a lot of people.</p>

<p>honestly, I have average grades (A’s and B’s), low 80’s ssat, a couple EC’s, and like my only hook is that I’m a minority. Oh and I’m spunky. Haha.</p>

<p>lol thx rad but im not up to par as other asian candidates</p>

<p>orange: You are applying to Exeter, right? I have like the same stats as you, 83% SSAT, 3 1/2 ecs, a few B’s. Hopefully we both get in!</p>

<p>hopeful: Yes, I’m applying to exeter, and yay!! I definitely hope both of us get in as well! Although I’m kind of nervous. One of my recommendations are missing from the office, and I really don’t want my chances to get screwed over because of one document. D= </p>

<p>oh, and jyun, I was in like a sort-of similar position with you…on one of my report cards, I have like straight A’s and one freaking C in spanish. I talked to my guidance counselor about it, and she was basically like, if they really really don’t want you, they could possibly make that an issue, but if they do want you (which is probably the case) they most likely won’t care about one C in an ocean of A’s. :)</p>

<p>lol so should i take it as not that bad of a thing? i ended up with a C in spanish 3 honors lolo</p>

<p>umm ok I just creeped on your chance thread, and really? spanish 3 honors as a tenth grader? Yeah don’t worry about it. A C definitely isn’t “good” but looking at your chance thread, it really shouldn’t matter. At least I, as just another applicant, think so.</p>

<p>yeah im also applying as a repat, so hopfully i can take ap next year as a soph lol, if u got a chance to see my thread what do u think?</p>

<p>I’m no expert in this whole prep school thing, but I think you have a great chance.</p>

<p>i’m so not expecting a flock of acceptance letters b/c my 1st trimester grades were particularly bad this year b/c of weird weighting. :frowning: makes me angry. hopefully my charisma and captivating wit are enough to get me in <em>coughnotcough</em> :[</p>

<p>haha, rad, same deal with me. Maybe my spunkiness shall get me in? blehhh</p>

<p>where i want to go, i hope i get in but due to all these people’s credentials, its crazy.</p>
