Have you told people your planning on leaving your school?

<p>@UKgirl23 Great!! </p>

<p>@GoldenRatio :slight_smile: of course IF- I get into one schools, the big day is just 2 days ahead us! :D</p>

<p>Iā€™ve only told one person at my school and he is applying to different schools than I am. Iā€™ve told none of my friends. I donā€™t really know what Iā€™ll do if I get in to any of the schools I applied to. I havenā€™t planned what Iā€™ll do. I think there will be less drama if I wait until after school ends. But Iā€™m just happy to know that Iā€™m not the only person that didnā€™t tell everyone.</p>

<p>I told only a few friends first, but word got out, and people just throw reasons I should stay at me every second of the day! Even though I told them Iā€™m not getting in, they insist I will. Also, Iā€™m being ostracized by my closest friends for ā€œleaving themā€!</p>

<p>Well when you leave that school your make new friends. Believe me if I got into VS so will you and I did terrible on the Maths test. What test do you do in America in THE UK we do Science,Maths,Verbal Reasoning, Comphersion, English</p>

<p>We do the ISEE or SSAT or SAT depending on the grade weā€™re applying to</p>

<p>I started out only telling some of my closest friends, but of course they told people, those people told people, and so on. I feel like most people know now. lol</p>

<p>Itā€™s rather annoying to me how everyone thinks I will definitely get in just because I have straight As or something. I donā€™t think they understand how hard it is to get into these schools honestly. Itā€™s going to be quite awkward if I am rejected and have to tell everyone.</p>

<p>

@20alison16 Exactly!!! I feel like I have an enormous amount of pressure on me to get accepted because people think that only excelling in school matters for admission :confused: Itā€™ll be so hard telling people if Iā€™m rejected because they think that thereā€™s no way I wonā€™t get in</p>

<p>Donā€™t feel bad if you didnā€™t tell anyone. I only told a few people I was going to a boarding school. My teachers donā€™t even know Iā€™m here :P</p>

<p>Hahaha orangesrule108 how did you get recs?</p>

<p>At first I kept it quiet but then the teachers I had to tell bc of recs started asking me about applications in front of my friends. :frowning: things got awkward quicklyā€¦ But when I told my two best friends they were so incredibly supportive! Iā€™m going to miss them so much when-- I mean if-- (come on kath donā€™t jinx yourself now of all days!) I go to boarding school</p>

<p>Aww Iā€™m so happy to know youā€™re friends were supportive!</p>

<p>Yeah, the funny thing is that I have another friend whoā€™s the exact opposite, but I have realized she just isnā€™t a good friend-- itā€™s amazing what peopleā€™s reactions say about them</p>

<p>I guess my friends arenā€™t true friends after all, thenā€¦</p>

<p>Aww I didnā€™t mean to offend youā€¦ Sorry? Unless of course you donā€™t like them either</p>

<p>You know I shouldnā€™t have said that. Really sorry</p>

<p>LOL, itā€™s okay. My friends and I have started drifting apart. I seem to be the only one truly focused on my future, etc. :slight_smile: I like your honesty-keep it up!</p>

<p>Athenarocks I think GoldenRatio knows you didnā€™t mean it like that :)</p>

<p>Thanks guys</p>

<p>My good friends are very supportive, but Iā€™ve had a few people get weirdly angry with me, sort of taking it personally. And then there are a few people whoā€™ve befriended me since they found out I got in, as Iā€™m currently at a girlsā€™ school but going to a prestigious mixed school known (among other things) for the wealth of its students.</p>
