<p>kk so um…u just have to like fill in the questions and write essays in the application process. Then if they’re interested, they interview u. And then they’ll just like reply and stuff, and maybe give u a scholarship! and the stuff abt the school can b found in the website already. There’s also a uniform, red shirt and jeans. :)</p>
<p>When did you apply?</p>
<p>Like…late Jan. or smth.</p>
<p>How did you convince your parents? And how many people applied this year? Did you get some sort of scholarships?</p>
<p>Well, up to this min. about 150 or so ppl have applied. And it took A LOT of interviews between my parents and Mr. Solomon, Janice Cheng, and Mr. Rene to convince them that there would NOT be like burglars in my closet. :)</p>
<p>LOL thanks TGS girl. </p>
<p>So did you take any standardized tests?</p>
<p>Are you 100% sure it isn’t a scam?
What sports/athletics do TGS students do?</p>
<p>Well, no. I didn’t have to take any standardized tests, since it wasn’t required, but I had to show my GPA and report cards to the school. The preferred GPA is 3.98+. And yes, I’m sure it’s not a scam. I talked to Mr. Solomon, Janice, and Mr. Rene (as I have said before). Plus, if my parents think it’s safe, than it IS safe.</p>
<p>Well, I’m not exactly sure about the sports that are going to be in the curriculum an extra-curriculum, since the teachers are still figuring things out. I personally do badminton, a little tennis, hockey, volleyball, and martial arts.</p>
<p>Cool! They all sound really Chinese lol.</p>
<p>So did you see any int’l students? You have five or so.</p>
<p>(gasp) it does sound Chinese? wow, since i AM part chinese…</p>
<p>and no, um i didn’t see any international students…yet. I’m gonna meet them in Stockholm. Everyone in the program is international, since there are people from Europe, Thailand, China, New Zealand, Canada, and much more! This school redefines “international.” I mean, the term “international” only applies when the school is held someplace permanently. For example, a school in Thailand would consider “international” as someone from outside thailand. However, in TGS, the world is the setting, so the term “international” only applies with aliens. ::D</p>
<p>have you met the admissions staff in person?</p>
<p>uh…nope, but i can understand that. The admissions staff wouldn’t fly all around the world to see an insignificant girl like me (compared to the other 14). I mean, they’re probably too busy interviewing and meeting with potential students (plus preparing for the new school year) to visit me. However, Mr. Rene is coming to my town this month, and i’m very excited! wo yao zao Mr. Rene.</p>
<p>What’s “zao” Mr.Rene? Is it…visit??? Zao means to create, etc.</p>
<p>Actually, “zao” also means visit, and looks kind of like “wo,” but with like, not connecting lines.</p>
<p>I’m a native speaker. Zao Fang means to visit(formal).</p>
<p>Oh well. Better ask my Chinese teacher again! Seriously, the translations from Chinese to English in my textbook is so off. 
thanx for the correction tho! i would’ve went thinking zao meant “meet,” instead of “visit,” although they are kind of similar. o.O oh well…</p>
<p>ขอบคุณนะค่ะ :p</p>
<p>That’s fine. “to meet”, in a less formal case, is “jian mian”, which literally stands for “see the face”.</p>
