<p>oh, LOLLL.
oops, silly me. but i like, read things, remember them, then forget where i read them. i have lots of difficulty writing a bibliography after i do a project due to this :P</p>
<p>EDIT: haha, i thought international was good too, but there's huuge competition among us, too, and FA for internationals is limited :( (i checked exeter's website)</p>
<p>so do american applicants have more of a chance of getting in to these schools? As compared to the chance for international? </p>
<p>A lot of these schools have high acceptance rates for international students, though...</p>
<p>really? i've never seen individual acceptance rates for international students, just the school as a whole. could you possibly source, please?</p>
<p>question (For anybody who knows :P ):
do boarding schools have an age cut-off date? i'm born in september, so would make me apply for the year after the year i'm at, in public school (cut-off is december :P ) ?
like, if the cut-off was in june, i'd have to apply for the lower year than at public school.. (as a repeat)
yeah. if anybody knows anything
thanks!</p>
<p>Nope, im born in late September 93' and im in 10th. May apply to 11th for a couple but probably applying as a repeat...because I want to though. They don't make you do anything, doesn't really matter if you've been in that grade forever (matured at same level most likely).</p>
<p>So I'm assuming everybody's given the option to repeat? Do you think that makes admission more difficult?</p>
<p>For the repeaters or the people not repeating applying to the grade from the grade below?</p>
<p>The people not repeating applying to the same grade again.. 9th grade at your current school applying for 9th grade at boarding school. Is that possible? (Even if you were born in the common year, like.. for 9th grade, it'd be 1994)</p>
<p>sooooooooooooooooooooo, i have a slightly bigger chance than others?</p>
<p>anyone know how many koreans applied the year 17 were selected? or the acceptance rate for koreans?</p>
<p>scratch that last statement - only 10 got in, i'm not sure how many applied but definitely 50+</p>
<p>the azn exoian, could u give me the full details please?</p>
<p>From my experience at boarding school, the korean pool of applicants have a much more difficult time getting into boarding school. but i am speaking of applicants from korea, not the us, who are competing against huge numbers of other koreans. a korean student who may possess many of the qualities to get into a top top boarding school may have a more difficult time than an american, althought obviously many of the koreans who apply are very intelligent. the schools also want americans at their institutions, without trying to be offenseful i merely mean that it is difficult for international koreans to be accepted. i had to go to kent b/c i needed to apply in late august b/c my dad was moving, and it was the only school with space, but the koreans at our schools are generally much better students than the americans, and could easily handle the work of a much more challenging bs</p>
<p>kentkid, i was wondering would i be international or domestic if i live in the us pending on citizenship, but am a legal citizen in korea?</p>
<p>guys please help :]</p>
<p>if you're pending citizenship right now for the us but you're still a citizen of korea, then i'm guessing that you would be placed in the pool of applicants from korea, unless you explain to the admissions committee somehow that you are pending citizenship then they may put you in the us pool</p>
