@Center To answer your questions, I would say that my coursework is very rigorous-I take about 13 courses (7 standard middle school classes, one high-school language course outside of school, and six very challenging courses that do count as credit). It takes a lot of studying and hardwork for those classes. My grades at school are fine; I have straight A’s and have maintained a 4.0 GPA every single year at school. I’m Asian. I guess the really large amount of classes I take make me stand out, and I have a really strong passion for writing. Last of all, other than PEA, PA, and SPS, I didn’t apply to other schools. Thank you for taking time to reply to my thread!
@babymalcolm Thanks for the information! It’s great to know that I have the ability to ask questions about dorm life, schools, etc. and have prep parents answer them.
@GoatMama I’m really sorry if I annoyed you by posting this chance thread. I’m new to CC, and going into the Prep School part of CC, I saw a lot of chance threads, so I kind of jumped onto the bandwagon and went along with that. As a prep school applicant, I knew that applying to such good prep schools would be, as you said, a gamble, but I decided to take a chance and I’m really nervous. I didn’t want to get my hopes up too high, so I just wanted to see a rough estimate of my chances. I’ll definitely utilize CC more wisely in the future. Thank you for your thoughts, and I hope you have a nice day!
