<p>I’m in a very tough situation right now. I have to choose between a public school and a year round residential high school (governor’s school). My current school is the best in South Carolina, but the problem is that S.C. is probably the worst state education wise. The private school has a lot of AP and actual college classes, and also a of more research/other e.c.'s that a pub. can’t offer. The problem w/ this, though, is that it’s so far away from my house, and that if I go there, i will not have a life. I want to go to HYP or penn, so what should i do?</p>
<p>if you want to go to hyp or penn, go there. let me warn you that you shouldn’t base you decision on solely this. visit the school if you can to make sure you can survive there.</p>
<p>oh and btw, you will have a life.</p>
<p>Just because you go to the prep school doesn’t mean you’re in.</p>
<p>Just because you go to prep school also doesn’t mean that you won’t have a life.</p>
<p>make sure that regardless of which school you attend, that you will work hard</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I never said this. In his situation, the prep school would offer a lot of opportunities that his public school can’t. Andcolleges would like the challenging courses. </p>
<p>Again, let me say don’t base your decision solely on this. Remember, you’ll have to live there for four years.</p>
<p>But in a prep school, more people will be applying to colleges such as Harvard, Princeton, Yale, etc., which in a way, makes the competition even harder.</p>
<p>I don’t know…for me I’d be worthless to pay a tuition, even if you did get a scholarship.</p>
<p>

<p>Which is why more get in.</p>
