Have not had any interviews yet, but I have some coming up soon. I've been preparing for them. Any tips?</p>

<p>What are my chances at getting into L'ville, GS, and Hun? Thanks!</p>

<p>Getting in for junior year is pretty tough.</p>

<p>Just wondering, why is it so tough to get in for junior year? Sorry, I’m new at all of this. @mathman120</p>

<p>Sorry, meant @mathman1201‌ </p>

<p>Every year, there are less spots. What I mean by that is that in 9th grade, there are the most open spots, in 10th grade, there are less, and in 11th grade, there are very little. Therefore, it is harder to get in as a junior than as a freshman.</p>

<p>Don’t worry about it, though! :)</p>

<p>Oh, okay thanks! I knew that, but there are also less applicants, but either way it will be hard. @mathman1201‌ </p>

<p>Good luck, I’m applying to Lawrenceville myself hope to see you there</p>

<p>Me too. I’m in love with it. :x </p>

<p>Aside from having fewer spots, junior year is also considered to be the most challenging year academically. Considering that college applications are just around the corner, there is little room for error if a new junior is unable to hit the ground running. For that reason, many apply as repeat 10th graders.</p>

What schools did you get in? I was just lurking around. You have excellent qualifications.
