<p>Oh heyy guys :) I'm a sophomore right now at Westover. I hail from the Pocono Mountains in PA in a small town with a craap public school system. I came to Westover as a repeat and I'm looking to apply to Andover/Exeter/Deerfield for junior year. Merr, ahah I'm nervous about my chances and I know its really cut throat. I really want to see if I can do it, I'm really looking to get the best education I can....boys are nice, too...I guess :)</p>

**3rd generation Reiki energy healer</p>

<p>Woww, I sound so stuffy. I'm trying to find something that I can jump off the page with. I figure that the energy healing will sort of do that but before you guys say ANYTHING let me explain pleaaase!!</p>

<p>**Alright so it's not scary. I help my mom heal others and I do it myself while I'm at school, in the dorm, on the field etc. Its a big part of my life because my mother and I are really spiritualist (don't be scared)!! Haha, I've been thinking about doing a clinic at Westover and except that I'm kind of selfconcious. I think I'm going to hold a session to get people through the 1st phase of training (the 1st step out of 3) in order for them to become a Reiki master. I think its really interesting and that schools may appreciate the diversity of this rather than the seemingly typical protestant/jew/catholic/muslim/atheist/agnostic/you're own personal mix. </p>

<p>Haha, what do you guys think? I'm mostly interested in Andover due to the closeness to my cousins and family :)</p>

<p>your stats look really good : )
just write good essays and nail your interviews and i would say you have a very good chance.</p>

<p>merr, thanks sunny :]
i think i can write a pretty ballin’ essay if i get my english teachers to look over it for me and stuff. haha and if i rock my interview they’ll hopefully see part of me that gets lost in my written app.</p>

<p>however, i haven’t talked to my parents about my transferring. i hope they let me, i remember before them saying that its either westover or back to public school. since i repeated a grade already i’d be the grade below my friends, ■■■. they think i really love westover (which i do) but i hope they see that I really want a chance to go somewhere that is really great-- better than westover.</p>

<p>yeah i know what you mean. i go to a really small school so clubs and activities are extremely limited. i want to go to school in a big community where there’s anything you can think of : )</p>

<p>i’m also applying as a junior. which one do you want to go to the most? maybe we’ll meet : )</p>

5

<p>andover fo shaooo. how about you?</p>

6

<p>haha same. now the hard part is getting in though : S
i wouldn’t mind going to choate/st.paul’s/lawrenceville either though. i feel as if they’re second tier… that may not be true but that’s just the feeling i’m getting.
as for a backup, i’m probably applying to webb in california. i looked into thacher but it seems like it’s more for someone that’s interested in horses. any other ideas for potential back up bs’s?</p>

<p>St. Pauls, Lville and Choate are <em>hardly</em> second tier and should never be considered backup schools. As a back-up try looking at Blair, Peddie, NMH, St Georges, etc. Those are second tier but its a good tier to be in ;)</p>

Maybe I’ll see you there :smiley: Ohh, check out my chance page and…chance me :slight_smile: : <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-chances/776559-chance-me-im-junior-living-honduras-who-wants-go-andover-choate-2.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-chances/776559-chance-me-im-junior-living-honduras-who-wants-go-andover-choate-2.html&lt;/a&gt; I’m also applying to Choate, Deerfield, Loomis Chaffee, and a few others :)</p>

<p>Good luck in sorting through all the possibilities! And for those who took their SSAT’stoday … it’s over and do not get panicked by the people here that talk about their high scores. That is only a SMALL part of each application.</p>

13

<p>hahaha, sorry Bumble.B. Hey, I noticed that you mentioned that you would like to work for the foreign service. Well, my dad works for the State Department/Foreign Service/US Embassy :smiley: haha, I’m planning on following his footsteps (I love traveling. In total, I’ve lived in 7 countries and visited around 20 countries) :slight_smile: Its awesome :)</p>
