<p>Did you get full FA?</p>
<p>No, but it covers a lot, more than we expected to get!</p>
<p>I didn’t expect to get full FA, as my parents do work and we live fairly comfortably! I’m not some poor kid with no life goals. My parents have sent me to private school my entire life, and I live in an affluent area.</p>
<p>It’s just that 36,000 dollars for one education, when I have a sibling at the same school, is a little much for one family to handle!</p>
<p>thanks guys… Anyone else?</p>
<p>Well i only live with my mom so yea…</p>
<p>-disclaimer: tact has evaporated in this reply-</p>
<p>not to kill too many stereotypes in one post but from what i just skimmed over: you are a korean from a low income family who lax-es. </p>
<p>go for the whole bunch (andover, exeter, and more)</p>
<p>I dont quite understand what your saying, could you please elaborate?</p>
<p>I appreciate the suggestions though.</p>
<p>top boarding schools all have definite aspect in common: diversity. as i was trying to get at by mentioning stereotypes, the majority of Korean students at a top boarding school are NOT low income. nor do they lax. after typing that, i even want to cross out “the majority of”. </p>
<p>i am by no means saying that diversity is your main attribute (i don’t know you and i briefly looked at your post), but as a HADES student, i can say that low income+korean+lax will make you stand out in admissions. </p>
<p>oh and i tried to force tact to semi-condense if you can’t tell :P</p>
<p>Oh alright I see what your saying. Thank you for explaining further. I appreciate it.</p>
<p>
Interesting observation.</p>
<p>Whats so interesting about it? MORE POSTS PLEASE</p>
<p>Chance Me!!!</p>
<p>I think you are a very strong well-rounded applicant…the AOs will for sure notice your dedication this time around!
Running your own business? That should really make you stand out! Make sure to mention it in your interviews if they ask you what you’re very passionate about.</p>
<p>Bumpppppppp</p>

<p>BUMPPPP </p>
<p>Please more opinions guys, I decided to apply to the following, Lawrencville, Hotchkiss, Loomis Chaffee and possibly Deerfield but am looking to add one more school, make suggestions please.</p>
<p>You are the only one who can make the best decision. Honestly, you are the one who is putting yourself in this predicament, so you should make the decision. Do some research and whatnot…we are not the ones who should tell you what to do. That is your choice and your choice only.</p>
