<p>I’d be glad to get into any of the four. I hope the fact that I don’t have straight A’s(A’s and B’s in courses) affect it too much since I’m already going to a boarding school</p>

<p>A friend of mine’s sister went to Miss Porters and loves it. You are allowed to go off campus for study halls and free periods.</p>

<p>Good luck!!</p>

<p>My daughter started at Emma Willard as a sophmore in the fall of 2013 and had a great experience that continues this fall. Her freshman high school grades were simialr to what you describe. I am surprised by your comment that they only accept 4 to 5 new sophmores and would specifically ask the school if you haven’t already. </p>

<p>I am a fan of Miss Porters my daughter attended as a boarder. MPS is an excellent school and she got in to many great colleges and is attending an Ivy. It is a warm and supportive community with a great faculty.</p>

<p>Miss Porter’s seems absolutely lovely and is definitely the best-of-the-best, based on rankings. Another great school (and a bit of a hidden gem!) is Dana Hall, which has been previously mentioned on here. It’s a really nice school, with a smaller fraction of boarders, but not enough to feel isolated. Overall, good luck! :)</p>

<p>Please keep in mind … the “best” is what’s best for you. The right fit is different for everyone… The culture is a little bit different at each school. Visit the ones you are interested in to determine which ones fit you best.</p>

<p>Just saw this article about a large ($40M!) gift to Foxcroft:

<p>Even though I attended a different school, I can relate to this…a great description of the all-girls (well, really, any) boarding experience:</p>
