<p>Do you guys have any connections? Like maybe you know an admissions officer extremely well, or you had siblings attend, or your school is going to push for you to get in?
&& for which schools do you mostly have connection for?
I think I mostly have connections for Lawrenceville</p>
<p>This isn't really a connection, but my aunt attended Milton and my uncle attended Concord. I doubt they'll even think about that, though, except maybe to wonder if my family has had any experiance with prep schools.</p>
<p>My dad's friend donated a building at Andover. :D
I also konw the Ambassador of Jamaica who used to be on the Board at Choate, and she's going to talk to them.</p>
<p>I know people for college, but not high school. :(</p>
<p>A few of my relatives have gone to Canadian prep schools. (Upper Canada College, Ashbury College)</p>
<p>I don't know anyone who I'm related to that when to an American prep school, though.</p>
<p>Jonathan, what's your dream school?
Didn't you want to go to St. Paul's? What grade are you in, and are you applying next year?</p>
<p>I'm in eighth grade.</p>
<p>Well, my mom agreed that I could apply to Choate's Young Writers Program for the summer which I am VERY excited for. I'll get to have a taste of what boarding school life is like, and if I really like it, then I will definitely apply. </p>
<p>Yes, I really want to go to St. Paul's, and I will definitely apply there next year if I apply to boarding school, along with Choate, Andover, and perhaps Deerfield.</p>
<p>Other thing I forgot. My dad's organization (it's quite small; he's one of perhaps fifteen to twenty faculty members) gives fairly sizable donations to Deerfield ever year. One of the founders of the organization attended in 1936.</p>
<p>no one else has connections?</p>
<p>I assume all those folks with legacies, connections, etc. are boarding school "insiders" and don't need to be poking around on CC to gather more info. :)</p>
<p>I know for a fact that there were people on CC last year who were legacy( both parent and sib) and super qualified .Lots of posting just to pass the time or get insight of other applicants.I will not disclose their school or extensive connections.</p>
<p>are u a mom francisouimet07? :D</p>

<p>48 more days, good. :) Wow, I looked at the time on this board. You guys were up into the early morning posting. :D</p>
