<p>Why would it matter if you guys are siblings? You're two separate people, getting two separate educations.</p>
<p>I don't know. maybe cuz my mom was freaking out when i first really said i definitely wanted to go to boarding school. she thought the schools would think we just wanted a handout (cuz my sister is getting FA right now) and my younger sister has been planning on going to boarding school, but by the time she would go, my sister would have graduated. I kinda threw her for a loop, because if I get in, some school will be providing FA for me, my sister, and ultimately, my other sister at the same time. So, I think her opinions colored my perspective. But really, think about it Jonathan, if the school wants even a little diversity, do you think they would give triplets FA for 4 years? Say they give $25K, that would be $75K for ONE FAMILY every year, times 4 years is $300,000! I just don't think it is very realistic. If it were me, I would have applied to at least one different school than my sisters, just to give myself a better shot at getting into the school. Just my opinion and I certainly don't know much about FA decisions.</p>
<p>I have only had like 4 people in my grade be really understand the process, they are very humble and respectful, and the thing is I was never close to them! It's like, they are very nice and always supportive. My friends, close friends act like they are insulted because im applying to BS. Two of my friends I think did the following just to spite me, they called all the schools i applied to and asked if they still had a good chance of being accepted and the admissions officers were frank with them. they were really *<strong><em>ed. I think they are jealous they did not put much attention to h.s selection. They were also *</em></strong>ed I got into a day school. I could not believe my eyes! Today I told one of my friends of my letter i got from middlesex, which I thought was like a letter to prepare you for rejection, and he was like "I KNEW YOU WEREN'T GOING TO GET IN, WHAT DID I SAY BRIAN?" And my other friend kept his mouth shut and everyone didnt say anything! I have never felt so betrayed. I wanted to really cry! My eyes got real watery, and I couldnt just burst out crying in front of my guy friends! I dont even know why i was hurt! So i got up from the lunch table, i nodded to them with a look that said, "ok, i understand but dont expect me coming back". I left and spashed cold water on my face so I wouldn't cry, my face was numb but atleast i didnt cry. I have always wanted to go to Harvard and these schools can help me get there, i thought they would understand, I gues they didnt. Then right now i just got on myspace and they posted disgusting bulletins about me. they called me a "Prep Cracker, Checkered Rits, and a bunch of other racist and anti-prep slurs. I cannot believe they did that when they too are white and ive been friends with them since pre-school. I do now know how im going to face them tomorrow, i think they might even try to beat me up with all the hostility they are beaming at me! I am having such a horrible day, i basically have no friends now. But one day, they are going to realize what they did and feel pathetic. </p>
<p>on a positive side note all my teachers are supportive even the admin.. hahaha
my parents really support me, and my sisters are nice too, they say "haha, who is going to do yor laundry now, no more nannies, ahahhahahah" although they are being cruel, haha, they really think im going to get in.
I can just hope i get in! </p>
<p>GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>All of my friends say, "Oh you're going to get in!" because they don't really understand the admissions process. It's going to break my heart if (when?) I have to tell them that I was (gasp) rejected.</p>
<p>aw aussie, i gonna cry.
hah, no but i am going to kick some butt.
well you better get it, prove those toootal losers wrong.
i know how you feel having "friends" like that, but youve gotta just keep doing what you did and blow them off. think of it this way, can you see THEM in your place?
i bet i can answer that for you.
no.
=]</p>
<p>That is pretty low what your "friends" did. I personally would try to talk to each one individually and see why they did what they did. It will make you feel better and make them feel bad for what they did. and block them from your myspace.</p>
<p>that is going to be so embarassing for me because most people know ive applied to schools so if i dont get in...everyone is going to think im not smart enough or something. i dont think that they understand just how selective all of these schools are though. all they care about would be that i got rejected and am stupid. hopefully i get accepted somewhere! just so i can prove them all wrong</p>
<p>I'm in the same situation as you, maevey. I go to a really good school now, so a lot of kids are confused as to why I would want to leave. There are a few people applying to a local boarding school in other grades, and a few kids have applied to New England schools last year, but none this year except me. They also think that it's not really hard to get into, so most people think I'm leaving for sure next year. Most of my friends understand why I want to go, but they'll miss me.</p>
<p>hahaha, funny, I blocked all of them from my myspace, and i reported the pictures they had of me with them, i reported so much their profiles have to be cancelled! HAHAHa, well they certainly will get their just desserts, I really dont want to talk to them, and proab ly will not. But i will loudly state the schools i got into, if any,lol, where they can hear it and eat their words!</p>
<p>like some others said, all of my friends say, im sure you'll get in everywhere, but they have no idea! and it occasionally gives me false hope. my friends are supportive, but some of them keep saying, why are u leaving us? but im not going to leave them, im going cuz bs is like a dream come true. (if i get in!) for people that havent gone thru the app process, aka ALL of my friends, they have no idea what its like. even though many are supportive, i wish i had friends at my school that were going thru the admissions process with me. but i dont, and that is what CC is for! :)</p>
