<p>I didnt have a good result this year. Any ideas for good rolling app schools?</p>
<p>Just look on [Boarding</a> School Review](<a href=“http://www.boardingschoolreview.com%5DBoarding”>http://www.boardingschoolreview.com). They have a search mechanism that lets you select rolling admissions schools only.</p>
<p>Also, if you’re full pay, you don’t need to limit yourself to rolling admissions schools. Many, if not most, of the smaller schools will still have space available after April 10. You just have to wait until then (or a week or so later) to contact them, because until they get commitments back from the currently accepted candidates, they just won’t know how much space they have.</p>
<p>If you need significant financial aid, you also need to know that the “rolling admissions” schools generally do not have rolling admissions for financial aid. In other words, there’s a financial aid deadline (probably in January or February) and once that’s passed, they may have lots of space, but they won’t necessarily have any money left.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Thank you very much for you answer.</p>
<p>There is the tendency after a setback to be reactive-- to want to DO SOMETHING. I advise pausing a bit and reassessing what your objectives are for attending BS.</p>
<p>Is it urgent that you enroll in a BS this coming fall? (e.g., your parents are moving to Kazhakstan and there are no quality int’l schools there, or you are being bullied and are miserable at your current school).</p>
<p>I am not discouraging you from pursing rolling adm schools, but simply counselling you to ask whether this is something you really want or need to do now.</p>
<p>I just thought if I go through rolling app, I can get into a better BS. Ive received several offers, just not from my dream school.</p>
<p>Well, relatively few schools do rolling admissions. And if none of these schools crossed your radar when you were first deciding which schools to apply to, chances are that they wouldn’t interest you very much now either.</p>
<p>Do the search I suggested on Boarding School Review and see what comes up. Then compare those schools to the ones you’ve already been accepted to. Then add in the “uncertainty” factor - you have no way of know whether “Rolling App School X” will even accept you. You may find that one of the schools that’s already accepted you is your best choice after all.</p>
<p>Or, you can sit tight where you are and apply to your dream school again next year.</p>
<p>If the rolling app schools are “better” (your words) then I would expect their spots fill up fast.</p>
<p>You say that you have some acceptances now. If you were not really willing to go to these schools, then why did u bother to invest the considerable effort and cost to apply to them?</p>
<p>My advice: a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.</p>
<p>Where did you apply (beside Cushing and Lake Forest) - and more importantly, what are you looking for?</p>
<p>I applied to Deerfield and Choate as well, and I am an international student, just want a highly academical school and high ivy acceptance.</p>
<p>Those schools send a lot of kids to ivy colleges because those school have a large number of kids who would probably have gotten into an ivy college no matter what high school school they attended</p>
<p>You mean all of BS or just DA and Choate!</p>
<p>I mean that the famous brand schools like DA & Ch send a lot of kids to ivy colleges because these famous brand schools have enrolled a large number of exceptional kids who would probably have gotten into an ivy college no matter what high school school they attended.</p>
<p>It is the quality of the kid, not the name of the high school that ultimately gets the kid into an ivy college.</p>
<p>Are u presently enrolled in an int’l school, or a local public/private school?</p>
<p>A local private school</p>
<p>The hun school of princeton has rolling i think</p>
<p>and so does cranbrook</p>
<p>@Comeoffers,
If you & your family are intent on u attending university abroad, another path u can consider, as an alternative to U.S. BS, is to enroll in international school in your home country: British curriculum school, if u want to study in UK, or American curriculum school if u want to study in U.S.</p>
<p>These schools’ schedule, curriculum & style of teaching/learning are geared towards preparing their students for univ in the schools’ home country (prepping for A-Levels or SAT). Plus the universities are familiar with the names of the int’l schools, as compared to a local private school in a foreign country.</p>
<p>I don’t know what your FA need is, but I would expect that int’l school in home country will be a more affordable option than BS overseas. As DS is int’l, we have found that all the extra costs of BS overseas add up VERY BIG-- u need to factor in 4 return tickets/year to fly home for school breaks. </p>
<p>Int’l schools also have rolling ad.</p>
<p>Ditto.</p>
<p>Count your blessings. Unless you applied to schools that take a large majority of its applicants, you’re not likely to find a “better school” with rolling admissions unless you are a full pay. </p>
<p>Also - if you don’t love your current choices - please relinquish the spots (or take one and decline the others). There are many students here on the boards who would love an opportunity to be taken off a waitlist. That would be the nicest gift you could give to your CC pals still hoping to be chosen.</p>
