<p>The cubicles are AMAZING. everyone thinks they won't like them but then when you get to school and have water balloon fights over the walls ( or pillow fights, slighty more encouraged) they are amazing</p>
<p>Before coming to groton I was a straight A+ student at a public school. Now I get Bs at Groton, and have to work for them</p>
<p>sorry for prodding, but how much of the admission relies on ssat, grades, interview, application, etc. percentage wise?</p>
<p>NEprepgoer, what are the dining situations? Do you have to dress formal for dinner? If so, how often? What kind of food is offered at Groton? Do you have to wait on fellow students?</p>
<p>How many applicants does Groton get per year?</p>
<p>Groton vs. SPS vs. Middlesex</p>
<p>benevolent-
we have "sit down" 3x a week in the fall and 2x a week in the spring. Seating is assigned and a waiter is assigned to each table. These change every week. You have to dress nicely to these dinners, usually a sundress for a girl, and coat and tie for a guy.
Everyday you can get a custom sandwich, pb&j, salad, cereal, or the main meal, so lots of variety- and it's all good!!</p>
<p>As far as how many applicants groton gets each year- it's about 350-425.</p>
<p>Do ssats count for a lot of the admission process</p>
<p>Additionally, do you think being a legacy is a big deal?</p>
<p>You guys like Mr. Low? My son likes him a ton.</p>
<p>I wonder what admittance will be for 10th grade fall '10? Also, what is it like to be a new 10th grader, without the benefit of previous year or years?</p>
<p>redsox, I don't attend Groton, but I happen to know that the average SSAT is 90%. I wouldn't blow the SSAT out of proportion, though it is important.</p>
<p>SSAT counts, but not a ton. get above a 70 and you're set (if you're good in everything else) </p>
<p>Mr. Low is a great guy!</p>
<p>Being a legacy helps a ton!</p>
<p>Oh. That's not good. I'm not a legacy. :/</p>
<p>redsoxgmen567-
Don't worry about not being a legacy!!! probably only 10-15 kids in each class are.</p>
<p>Thats good. My heart stopped for a second. But still, isn't ten kids about 1/8 of the class. It's not a huge number, but it still is rather significant.</p>
<p>Haha ya thats what I was thinking. But ya don't worry about legacy...helps if you are though.</p>
<p>I GOT INTO GROTON'S THIRD FORM!!!

Good and bad, ups and downs?</p>
