<p>so if you got rejected then it comes way later?</p>
<p>Ha, no, we ALL (7-12) get grades out of 100.
I worked my effing BUTT off for that average. It would be higher if my global studies teacher hadnāt been a jerk and given me double 80s for participation (I talk to much off topic, lol).
I got a 99 in honors bio, 98 honors english, 100 Algebra I, 100 Spanish II, and 100 Studio Art. A 96 in global and a 96 in PE.</p>
<p>Our school is a joke, and my momās a bio teacher. That explains some of the grades. :)</p>
<p>glitters:
No, not necessarily. Sometimes the reject letters will come the same time as acceptance, some times a few days later. I donāt think theyād hold off on telling you for too long- youāve got to make a decision somehow, just like they do.</p>
<p>woah, thatās scary.</p>
<p>our school is known to kill your motivation to live, your self esteem, but most importantly, your transcripts.</p>
<p>itās no wonder that our smart people get into andover/exeter/sps/groton (none at choate LOL)</p>
<p>NOBODY in the history of my school has applied or attended a boarding school. The closest thing we have is a chemistry teacher (ZISKERS!! lol, sorry, canāt help it) who went to a PG year at NMH.</p>
<p>Iām surprised at my grades in Algebra, at leastā¦ sheās also my volleyball coach, and sheās balls hard.</p>
<p>on the other hand, our teachers come from the MOST unknown universities in the world. we had one guy who graduated from harvard, but he and his wife ironically left to teach at -dundundun- boarding school! (in MA, not sure where though. it COULD even be groton mx or sms, but i highly doubt it)</p>
<p>i think our music/drama/fine arts teachers are the best ones. they at least came from decent, known places (i know thatās discriminatory, but I mean like, if you had so much passion and devotion and talent in your subject and managed to get to this awesome school, then you should be a pretty good teacher)</p>
<p>Haha, kind of the same here. Except ALL our teachers are from Ithaca College or some private, liberal arts, Christian college up north. Not comparing the two, but those are the main types.</p>
<p>We have half and half- half dedicated, wonderful teachers, but they donāt make up for the half that are *******S.</p>
<p>Sorry.</p>
<p>We haveā¦</p>
<p>52 days until applications are due. (January 10th!)</p>
<p>111 days until acceptance letters! (March 10th!)</p>
<p>I personally have 16 days until my Exeter interview, and 17 days until my Andover interview. !!!</p>
<p>Oh, and a little tidbitā¦</p>
<p>36 days 'til Christmas!!</p>
<p>Only 10,220 days until retirementā¦YIPPEE!!!</p>
<p>Then again, given the current state of retirement assets, tack on another 2 or 3K days :(</p>
<p>Awwwā¦ Well, maybe youāll win the lottery!</p>
<p>Only 5 more days until I WIN THE LOTTERY!
(Now isnāt THAT more optimistic? haha)</p>
<p>Maintaining a solid income stream for 10,220 days, give or take a few thousand, in akin to lottery winnings in these days. Ask anyone at Citi.</p>
<p>Beware of the ābubble effectā setting in before reaching campusā¦</p>
<p>ābubble effectā?
Iām guessing you mean the mindset that the school is a paradise and ALL my problems will disappear when I get thereā¦
So not true.
Iāll still be a stressed out, over-competitive, heartbroken (off topic, but still), maybe not smart enough girl. Just in a waaay better environment.</p>
<p>Saer-</p>
<p>Iām SURE youāre a smart enough girl (this is the closest Iāll ever get to a chances reply) :)</p>
<p>Remain hopefulā¦</p>
<p>Thank you 
Iām pretty hopeful! Just not disillusioned.</p>
