<p>LOL! Well good to have you, oh experienced one!</p>
<p>ELVEE NONONONONO.
You CAN'T do '11!
Ugh.</p>
<p>Haha... Hotchkiss, you are a veteran of sorts, aren't you? This whole process should earn you ranks or something - it's brutal!</p>
<p>Hi! I'm also applying to repeat the 11th grade. I applied last year and got waitlisted at Lville, Choate, Deerfield and Hotchkiss... Sad thing...</p>
<p>me too, i also got waitlisted at Hotchkiss last year.</p>
<p>hopefully we'll all hear good news this year
how's ya'll applications coming?</p>
<p>I was wondering what you guys plan on changing for you repeat appliers. Are you just going to trun in the same stuff and hope you get in this time?</p>
<p>no definitely not. the only thing that would stay consistent is your EC's. well at least for me. </p>
<p>if i didn't get in with the same stuff last year, why would i just repeat the things i wrote last year? i don't know, but im gonna change things around a bit. plus the application itself is different from last year.</p>
<p>O ok cool, good luck</p>
<p>Wow... I never realized so many people who applied before would do it again. It makes me wonder... I'd probably apply next year as a repeat 11th if I didn't get in this year.</p>
<p>Anything to live the dream, lol :D.</p>
<p>I dont like to think about NOT getting in, I like keep the confidence level up. But if I didn't get into any then I don't think I would do it again. Sooner or later you have to move on.</p>
<p>Agreed, lol.
Then again... aren't you applying as a repeat? :]</p>
<p>Ya...thats because if I'm gunna do this I want as much of the experience as possible, plus my age permits. If I don't get in I just can't see myself going 3 years into highschool...so close to my dream colleges; then going back to do some over at boarding school.</p>
<p>Right now..im barely thinking college, by next year I think I'll be to far along in the process with the IB and talking with my counselors and stuff. Thats just me though.</p>
<p>yea same here. if i don't get in this year, then im not going to apply as 12th grade or postgraduate the year after that. </p>
<p>i think going there in 12th grade is too little, since im not thinking of doing repeat, cuz im already old for my grade. so yea, makes this one all the more special.</p>
<p>well im not reapplying to those schools waitlisted me, except for Lville [it's my dream =)]
everything on my application is completely different: essays, parent statement, ECs (consistent plus much MORE activities than last year) + supplements
personally it's a great thing i got waitlisted coz that helped me see very clearly my strengths and weaknesses, so that i can focus on my strengths with the application this year as well as improve my weaknesses. how abt those who reapply?</p>
<p>Hmm...
I don't think I'd reapply either, now that I think on it. Really, it's a now or never thing. These schools have such great opportunities, but there's no way I'd do junior year two times... I mean, it's the hardest academically, and also... everything happens for a reason :].</p>
<p>Good points to everybody though!</p>
