Prep School Admissions Prep School Cafe

<p>After all of our hard work in the admission processes, then the seemingly endless month of waiting for replies, it shocks me that we are less than 24 hours away from getting the replies from the schools! Throughout the boarding school application process, I have been glued to college confidential. On my computer’s list of most visited websites it goes yahoo.com, facebook.com, and then collegeconfidential.com! When looking through the articles I found the thread of information from last year’s admitted class to be extremely helpful and interesting. So, I’d like to repeat it again this year. Copy and paste the format below into the reply box, then fill out the information that you choose to. Remember not to say personal or identifying information! Good luck tomorrow everyone!!!</p>

Testing Scores (SSAT): 99%
Quality of Recommendations: I think I had 1 that was OK, 2 that were good, and 1 that was spectacular.
Hook: President’s Volunteer Award, Student Council VP
Any other info: I would have wanted to apply to schools like GLADCHEMMS and others but my parents weren’t into me being far away and the closest school to me of those is Lawrenceville at 3 hours and Linden Hall is more like 2 hours. Also I needed a school that offers merit scholarships and my parents said I could only go if I got a full scholarship. Well, I did, so I’m going to Linden Hall! But my dream school is SPS!!</p>
