<p>As the deadlines for many schools approach, I want to create this thread for future applicants to receive advice about the application process. Take this as a way to take out your feelings and reflect on your prides(?) and mistakes.</p>
<p>Everything was mailed yesterday. Deo Gratias! Now comes the wait…</p>
<p>I made the mistake of applying to a school I didn’t want to go to. It was basically a safety, but there’s no point in getting left with a school you don’t want to attend. Luckily I got accepted into other schools so it didn’t become an issue, but make sure you think about it.
The other thing I wish I hadn’t done was talk about books I hadn’t read in my essays. It led to staying up late the night before trying, and failing, to finish them. It didn’t actually come up in my interviews, but it meant a lot of unecessary stress for me.</p>
<p>I felt like I was too hasty with my applications. I thought, “the sooner, the better!” but took it a bit too far…I’m cringing as I type-very certain that I’m getting rejected to a couplm of schools for my recklessness.</p>
<p>However, on a more positive note, interviews were a blast! I gained a lot of experience on how to get a mathy point across to a sports coach who knew naught of it (it was awkward at first, but became more fun as time ticked by.)</p>
<p>All in all, PS searching was well worth the experience. I’m not going to entertain dreams of going to GLADCHEMMS, but I certainly won’t lament about slim odds 
Best of luck to you all!</p>
<p>My teachers waited until yesterday to finish recommendations… <em>sigh</em>
Also, would anyone be interested in a PSA CC Facebook group? (For those who are lesser skilled in acronyms, Prep School Admissions College Confidential. ) I’m not a creeper, I swear.</p>
