What do schools look for in an applicant?

That’s why I e-mailed all schools I want to apply to with my situation asking, given my situation, if I’m eligible to apply as a repeating 11th-grade student. Some said I can’t, others said I shouldn’t. I thanked all of them and moved on.

I don’t feel safe sharing my school list publicly (I don’t even tell people my college list unless they are extremely close and/or will not apply to US universities, let alone boarding schools).

That’s why I made a general post. I leave all my specific questions to the schools I’m applying to. I could’ve made a “Chance Me” post, but I did not. I just made a post asking a general question regarding admissions. I should’ve definitely worded myself better and mentioned out-of-school leadership activities other than athletics/music/art. People didn’t, and don’t have to reply at all.

Additionally, you don’t have to be passive-aggressive. I really appreciate everyone’s help, as long as their intentions are genuine. I love to help (that’s why I have leadership in community service activities long before I decided to apply to schools), so I recognize easily when someone’s intentions are negative or positive. You don’t have to expect anything from anyone.

I wish you all the best.
