hi guys!!!
i just wanted to come on and make a post before i inevitably forget about this site (sad, i know, but i’ve got a long road ahead of worrying about stuff with BS now that i’ve actually gotten in)
i hope allllll of y’all succeed at your school that you’re gonna enroll at and have productive experiences in highschool! the hard part is over now, so be ready for the next 4 years but don’t forget to have fun while you’re at it. i say this as a rising junior. HAVE SOME FUN 
on that note, if you’ve been w’led, stop stressing!! whatever is meant to happen will happen!! i, a junior year applicant, that needed 80% fa, SOMEHOW got off of the w/l at one of my top choice schools. there were only 5 spots for juniors available and only 2-3 of those were for girls.
if you don’t go to BS then literally just enjoy your life i can’t say it enough. before i got my acceptance i effectively resigned to the fact that i would be spending the next 2 years in a city with people that i hate, and in some sort of super pessimistic way i had a lot of fun during the 4 weeks between m10 and me finding out. i went out, i made some new friends, and most importantly i found myself appreciating the little things that i’d been ignoring because i was so worked up over BS. enjoy your lives because eventually you’re gonna be old and be like “damn why did i throw away my entire teen years worrying about some stupid school that i wasn’t a good fit for”
lastly, if anyone from the m10 2025 cycle of applications reads this, the one word of advice i can give you is to just be a good person. if you are kind and come off as such your interviewers will like you more and i genuinely believe it’s one of the main reasons i received an acceptance. i have a low gpa (3.4) and my test scores are okay (1270 psat did not take ssat). i really made an effort to come off as myself, and maintain my kind and easy-going demeanor in front of my aos instead of trying to appear as a cutthroat academic weapon. i’ve maintained good relationships with my aos at the end of it all! i also really believe in good karma, so if you’re a good person you deserve good things and it will eventually come to you.
if you didn’t get into a school, what goes around comes around and i PROMISEEEE your effort will have paid off. think about college apps and how less stressed you’ll be compared to all of your friends! and for everyone that got into a school, i hope all of the new '28, '27, and '26ers going to BS have a great time : D
i kept repeating to myself “i am a good person and i deserve good things” after m10, and look where it got me!
