<p>I'm currently in the 8th grade, and I am doing well in school(high honor roll) and i'm the only asian kid in my grade. My school isn't very diverse and I want to learn chinese in school but there's no place I can learn it from where I live in a small town in PA. So I want to goto school in new york where they offer more variety and foreign languages. I was thinking about Collegiate school(1st choice) cause of classes they have and location. But I will hope to get in all honor classes next year as freshman in my public school(except math doing Algebra 1 CP because did not take this year).</p>
<p>If I do good freshman should I apply to school in NYC, or should I apply after sophmore year?
And I could use some advice(grades,tips,etc..) because I don't know much about applying to top schools in NYC.</p>
<p>The Collegiate School is NOT a boarding school. Your family would need to move to the NYC area. Almost all NYC private schools are day schools, not boarding schools.</p>
<p>also collegiate has virtually no spots for sophomores they admit 5-6 freshman and none after that i think or like 1 student as a sophomore also as brooklynguy said it is a DAY school so you would have to move to attend the school you should look into boarding schools if you want a more challenging high school education</p>
<p>ISAAGNY (Independent School Admission Association of Greater New York) has no members that are in any of the NYC boroughs that have any boarding facilities. As far as I know, open spots in them for incoming students after 9th grade are generally very limited. It’s not impossible to enter one after 9th grade, but it’s not a common occurrence as it is at many boarding schools.</p>
<p>ever hear back from Collegiate?</p>
<p>I attended Collegiate, 1 through 12 (there was no K in my day) and we did take on students through Junior your; though only one if memory serves. As was stated above, almost without exception, NYC schools are day schools. I am still considering Collegiate for my son; however, the commute is a bit much.
I would strongly suggest looking into a boarding school as there are many. Lastly, and not meaning to be critical, edit your essays before you submit. Just a friendly suggestion.</p>
