<p>I have seen this post so many times since I came on CC. Isn’t there a facebook group on it?</p>

<p>it was entertaining.</p>

<p>btw, exeter is mailing the decision letters via e-mail; im pretty sure its the parents though.</p>

<p>Well, I don’t think I ever gave them my school email so it’s okay.</p>

<p>schoolgirlieusa, where did you hear/read that this year?</p>

<p>I saw this too!</p>

<p>I thought that Loomis was one of the best schools…but then again I’m still pretty new to the world of Boarding schools = L</p>

<p>Loomis is a good school. this was made by so…i forget what boarding school kids around 2000. jesting…</p>

<p>I don’t get the Lawrenceville one…?
Andover’s is my favorite.</p>

<p>the facebook group is prep schools and their “light” problems… or issues i can’t quite remember… </p>

<p>and l’ville - its a prep school joke that they don’t get anything done :wink: no harm though</p>

<p>the middlesex student newspaper was wrote some of these obviously a lot have been changed and rewritten. and made un-PC</p>
