<p>okay so today I visited one of the schools I was supposed to be applying to. I didn't really know what to think of it. I was unimpressed. I had my interview and the adcom kept hinting that me and the school were not a good match. I was actually kindof frustrated. She was like: well this school will not challenge you enough academically. talk to your father. adults know more than children." I was annoyed and I talked to my dad and we decided not to apply because they obviously didn't want me and everything was just very disasterous.
I'm worried because this school was to be my safety school. Now I'm only applying to Emma Willard and Miss Hall's. I'm nervous if I don't get in either of them and I don't have anywhere else to go. I have to go to boarding school or my life will fall apart. I am relying on acceptance letters with my life and I just feel so worried. Should I be worried? any words of advice? Am I freaking out or what???? OMG a;lsjdljdsfasdfj WHAT do I DO??? i mean I guess all I can do is wait for march 10 right?</p>
<p>Emma's really not that selective, so you can relax. You'll find a decent number of kids who got in the 99th percentile on the SSAT, but there's just as many who scored below the 50th percentile. The acceptance rate is a result of the HUGE number of applications from Korea and Taiwain. </p>
<p>P.S. you can always reapply.</p>
<p>If your "safety" school wasn't a school you felt you would fit into anyways, than you probably would've been just as unhappy there as not going to boardingschool.</p>
<p>Worst come to worst if you don't get in and go to your local public school for a year you can always repeat 9th grade if you want the full 4 years of boarding school. I think this is a better option than a safety school, because to pay however many thousands of dollars to attend a school you don't really like isn't really worth it (in my opinion)</p>
<p>but I'm sure you'll be fine, just keep fingers crossed for march10! :)</p>
<p>Don't think like that. You will work yourself into a state. Your whole life shouldn't depend on boarding school. Man, I would LOVE to go.. it is my number one goal right now, but what happens will happen. Develop a rich life at home so that if you get in, you will go as a greater person than you already are, and if you don't (psshhhtt :P) you will enjoy your life at home and can decide whether or not to reapply. That's my plan.</p>
<p>emmers43, may I ask what school this was??</p>
<p>that I hated? Purnell.</p>
<p>Wow, Purnell, I cant think of a schools who would acrually make an applicant go through that! Dont get mad get glad! Now you know that school just wasnt good enough for you!</p>
<p>emmers43, just to make you feel better, purnell is actually a school for girls who "did not succeed or do well in their previous schools".
I don't think youre one of those.
