Are there any things in particular that I could do after submitting my application?
I am living in a South East Asian LDC and attending an international school.
Nothing to help your application or chances of success, assuming you’ve already reached out to any relevant coaches. Continue to do well in school and keep your grades up. Get some good books, start watching an interesting TV series and other fun things to take your mind off the wait.
Here is a totally non-academic suggestion from a parent - please clean your room. That’s right! Go through your application materials, view books, and piles of papers that may be accumulated on the floor of your room. Now is a good time to discard unnecessary items - including old emails that are no longer relevant. You will feel better having a clean and organized room, plus it’s better “feng shui”.

Lmao. That was awesome. ??
One thing to do, it may be an unpopular opinion, and I know, I know, for most over-achievers like the ones who apply to boarding school, it may be unorthodox, but I want you to try and do one thing: Nothing. Like literally nothing. I don’t know about you, but I have midterms this week. That means over the weekend before school starts up again, there’s no homework. So just relax. You’ve accomplished something remarkable no matter what happens. I really wished I had listened when people told me to chill last year. Instead, I spent 2 months worrying for no apparent reason. (Going on vacation also helps if that’s within your means… I know public schools here have a Feb. Break, I’m not sure for you though.
I only have to wait 22 more days because that’s when HM/Riverdale comes out!
Both are amazing Day schools. HM is a pressure cooker, but great teachers and nice location. Get in one of these, and March 9 is just icing on the cake!!! Good luck!
Thank you! @BordDuLac
@SchoolPasta if you contacted coaches or people from a specific department, you can keep them up to date and send them videos to remind them that you’re still interested
