CHOATE 2024

This is really hard to believe.

I have a friend who goes to Choate and she told me about this. There was a shelter-in-place and other safety precautions were put in place to protect the community.

There was definitely a threat against black students that led to several days of concern. That much is true.

It had absolutely nothing to do with Trump supporters. That part is fiction.

Regarding

#1 - components of grades vary by class and teacher. Some are 10% participation (like my freshman’s english class), but others may be as high as 25%. Homework is generally 10-15% and the balance is tests, quizzes, essays and larger assessments.

#2 - only 10-15% of students do a concentration, so don’t feel that you have to pick one. It’s not expected.

#3 - you can switch roommates if there is a truly disruptive relationship. But don’t expect to change roommates because you’re not besties.

#4 - not gated works great. I hear that the candy is much cheaper at the gas station down the road than it is at the Choate store.
