<p>For the people re-applying next year! :D and for the youngins' and people just coming to the idea of boarding school. I know its awfully early, but isn't it better to be prepared? For the re-applicants, what would you have done differently? and what are you going to do differently? and for everybody, why do/did you want to apply? What schools are you applying to?</p>
<p>Methinks I like this n00bs idea… 
welcome to the club bucko! Of course you do have to pass the test to be truly accepted…</p>
<p>What test Rad? I’ve already passed most of the tests on CC haha.</p>

<p>I hope I’m not totally n00by, I’ve lurked for awhile :D</p>

<p>oh and I’m a girl :P</p>
<p>I’m applying for 2011… that means i would be going to a boarding school in 10th grade. Is it hard to get into a boarding school in 10thgrade and is it hard to adjust. Like coming into a new school senior year? Any schools that you would recomend?
Thanks!!!
xoxoxo</p>
<p>I have one question that will be bothering me this year, is it easier to get accepted for grade 10 (as a repeat) or grade 11?</p>
<p>I think I am applying as a 10th grade repeat. </p>
<p>Think of it this way, there are usually around 50 spots for 10th graders and 1 or 2 for juniors. I think less people apply as juniors but I believe getting in as a 10th grader is easier. And then you could adjust to bs before junior year.</p>
<p>@ queenie: same situation here… i think that as long as you’re social and outgoing and join clubs/sports you’ll do fine. i’m just hoping they won’t be TOO close-knit… :X</p>
<p>^ apparently you have to be kind of amazing at life to get into as a junior… they also take more sophs and i think it’d be a LOT easier adjusting academically as a sophomore.</p>
<p>HAHA i’ve posted on the threads for the apps of '09, '10, and '11… gosh im pathetic</p>
<p>I think the earlier u apply, the better u are. I didn’t know it’s so difficult to get in 11th grade until I got my waitlist decisions 
For example, at Middlesex, there are 2 spots for 11th grade and over 70 ppl applied :-o
Moreover (this is just my speculation), your friend circle usually forms since you first get in 9th or 10th grade. I’d imagine it’s more awkward to be a newcomer at 11th or 12th grade. </p>
<p>here’s the data for the waitlist of 11TH GRADE ONLY.
Groton: accepted: 1-2
Middlesex: applied: 70; accepted: 2; waitlisted: a bunch
(they accepted so few because they really have 1-2 openings only, for 11th grade)
Cate: not sure how many accepted, over 20 girls waitlisted (~same number for guys)
Hotchkiss: over 20 girls waitlisted (~same number for guys)</p>
