<p>I think it would be fairly awesome to go to boarding school. I wonder what it would be like.</p>
<p>Woot! 700th post for this thread.</p>
<p>Especially a super prestigious one like Andover</p>
<p>yeah, if my school had some days in the summer that we went into school, i would stop forgetting everything… yeesh. Lucky.</p>
<p>I’ve always wanted to go to boarding school.</p>
<p>I was thinking about applying for one my senior year, but then I decided that’d be a waste of time.</p>
<p>Are there any old boarding schools with secret passages and stuff? That would so cool to explore at night. Oh, and do they have prefects and headmasters?</p>
<p>Lol, I just realized I was pratically talking about Harry Potter.</p>
<p>Sigh. I would love to go to boarding school.</p>
<p>My best friend goes to a prestigious boarding school. He really hated it the first couple months, but now he likes it a lot. He says that it gets so much better once you get to know the people and make friends, which is hard because they all have friends from last year. </p>
<p>I do wish sometimes that I went there. I know he is getting a better education than I am (I think I’m getting a pretty good one) and living in dorms is pretty cool. I think I’d really enjoy that setting. Although Sat. classes would definitely suck.</p>
<p>lol… I know. I wish I had gone into an IB school when I had the chance, and got invited in. It sucks because my good friend goes there, and his teachers ACTUALLY teach… what a surprise… mine suck.</p>
<p>We need to start a boarding school fan club lol.</p>
<p>^ Agreed! </p>
<p>Wow, our thread is getting so long, imagine how it will be by the time we’re seniors.
hmm…At this rate 700 posts/month, = 8400 a year (2)=16800 by the time we graduate from high school.</p>
<p>Hey, I’m going to sound SO lame compared to all of you guys but…</p>
<p>Is anyone else NOT taking SAT II’s… I’m no amazing student, so any of the schools I will probably apply to won’t requre them.</p>
<p>(Plus I suck at science, so most of them I wouldn’t even get good score on. And I’m not in advanced math, etc.)</p>
<p>
Biggest thread on CC ever?</p>
<p>^ LET’S DOOO IT.</p>
<p>haha.</p>
<p>@ livesforsummer, my school doesn’t do sat II’s. Infact we don’t take the SAT’s and it is optional (maybe everywhere) to take the ACT’s. My school is small though >1000 people.</p>
<p>^Most schools don’t require you to take the SAT. In fact, most schools, unless you are in their top 10% of students, encourage you NOT to take the SATs. It lower their average score and makes them look bad. =(</p>
<p>But if you go to a private prep school, then they almost have to require you to take them, because you need them for college.</p>
<p>That’s the ‘only’ reason to take the SAT… for college admissions.</p>
<p>And my high school has only 153 students grades 9-12.</p>
<p>Oh, and if your school doesn’t offer SAT IIs, then find another local high school to take them at. You do NOT need your school to sign up for SATs. (My school isn’t even a test center.)</p>
<p>I’ve taken the SAT twice… and both times I signed up for it without my school. (First time, my mom signed me up over phone… second time, I signed up by myself. My mom just told me which credit card to use.)</p>
<p>Well I don’t have the money to take the SATs or ACTs yet, and what is the rush? lol… also what are sat IIs anyway?</p>
<p>AP bio
AP Lang
AP Chinese
AP US
AP stat

<p>varsity fencing? haha :)</p>
<p>SAT IIs are subject tests. They’re like AP tests, only not for college credit. It is recommended to take them at the end of a course (December if you’re on block scheduling or May for year/2nd sem. block)</p>
<p>Some colleges require you take an SAT II test, while others recommend it, and some don’t care at all.</p>
<p>Hey guys! I’m a class of 11-er too, nice to know im not the only one on this site.
What schools are you guys looking at?
I’m in love with Yale. And also Standford. The list continues with Amherst, Princeton, Gerogetown, etc.
I completely doubt i’ll get in though lol.</p>
<p>I hated my visit to Princeton… and though the tour guide was very nice at Georgetown… I wasn’t really enthusiastic about attending there either.</p>
<p>I’d love to look at Yale… but that’s unrealistic for me.</p>
<p>My number one choice is AU (American University). I LOVE that school and no one even knows anything about it where I come from. XD</p>
<p>I’m also looking at my dad’s alma maters: App. State and USC (he did LS there).
And I’m looking at other instates: Furman (for the longest time was my #1 choice… and plus who doesn’t want a shirt that says ‘FU’?), Clemson (my dad would killl me), and maybe a couple in my town? (There are seven colleges in my city. Two are literally three minutes away. <em>hits face</em> My mother realllllyyy wants me to go to one of those.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Maybe you should have learned Stanford’s name before you fell in love with it. ;)</p>
