<p>OK, I'm posting two new threads in one day. This is the last one :D.</p>
<p>Everybody applying for a school as an upper/junior/11th grader, say hi here, tell us about a favorite school, or whatever. Who knows, we all may be classmates (or rivals) in the next year! :]</p>
<p>hi, i'm class of 2011 too. applying as a junior to hotchkiss, andover, exeter, and deerfield. i love hotchkiss the most though. Good luck all!</p>
<p>me too :]
applying to choate, peddie, exeter and lawrenceville!</p>
<p>awesome! have any of you gone on your tours/interviews yet?</p>
<p>i've gone on interviews for all but exeter, but the exeter is coming up in 1 1/2 weeks. the interviews went surprisingly well though. one step down...it seems like there are thousands more to go!</p>
<p>believe me, I can commiserate. When said interviews are actually taking place, it seems like it's THE deciding factor as to whether or not you get accepted; then you get home, and remember the actual applications, the tests, the recs... it's such a long process!</p>
<p>I am doing mine in December..why are there so many more people applying for junior year this year?</p>
<p>i think it just seems that way jhopeful715. and the number of applicants for the TSAO schools almost always increases every year.</p>
<p>I'm also applying for Junior year.</p>
<p>Exeter, SPS, Tabor, NMH, and a few others lol.
I have a lot on my list.</p>
<p>My interviews have to wait until December because I'm doing off-campus and phone interviews.</p>
<p>Ooh, are you more nervous or excited for off-interview?</p>
<p>Nervous as all get out, but not due to the off-campus. I live so far away, and on campus interview was never an option, so I don't know the thought of otherwise.</p>
<p>For the most part mine will all be on the phone too. That makes me really really really anxious. Noramlly I can make myself feel better by flashing a smile at whoever is in the room,. doing something like tripping, which makes me less nervous. Plus, I do horribly talking on the phone. I hate the phone, and that's how the majority of mine will be.</p>
<p>I hate the phone too, lol! You can't read people's faces, or see their expressions... it's all guesswork, and it just makes me uncomfortable. I much prefer speaking to somebody's face :D</p>
<p>Exactly ^</p>
<p>With my friends I'm fine, but everyone else, I hate it. <em>Shivers</em></p>
<p>I'm an international student applying as a junior to hotchkiss, tabor, deerfield, loomis chaffee, and some others I'm not sure yet.
I'm planning to have an on campus interview during the thanksgiving break.
I'll be going to Boston, so hopefully I'd get a chance to go to tabor and deerfield..
I don't know how can I get there though. Does anyone know?
If not then I have to do them by phone. hate it too :(</p>
<p>^ Uhg, Isn't it just horrible.</p>
<p>Everyone else who is doing phone. Please post advice as soon as you do them. :)</p>
<p>Bumpin the thread up.</p>
<p>Anybody who WOULD be class of 11, but has decided to repeat? Anybody still here, sticking to graduating in 2011?</p>
<p>I am :].</p>
<p>how are the apps coming?</p>
<p>repeaters unite :]
that'd be me too haha.. i'd be perfectly happy to be accepted for 2012 </p>
<p>so far my apps are... piled high. u?</p>
<p>I am slowly plowing through them, lol! I'm actually not repeating =0. In my school, I'm not one of the oldest ones in my grade. The problem is that my birthday is in early november, which is really quite early for many standards... i'm not graduating at 19 and a half, lol!</p>
<p>wow, i never realized there were this many class of '11 vying for boarding school admission.</p>
<p>lol. im also in class of '11, and not repeating.
im applying to deerfield, hotchkiss, st. paul's, and maybe episcopal.</p>
<p>for everyone in this thread, have you guys applied in previous years?</p>
<p>i did, i applied to andover and hotchkiss last year and i was waitlisted at both. :(
but now i'm more experienced and I feel like a veteran of sorts</p>
