Prep School Admissions

<p>i go to public school right now and it's miserable- i'm a sophomore</p>

<p>i don't really know anything about boarding schools except that most of the deadlines already passed except some schools have rolling admissions? </p>

<p>i have good grades like mostly As and on PSATs last fall i got 65-math 66-reading 68-writing. does this sound good enough to get a merit scholarship? i really need that or some kind of financial aid- my sister is going to college next year so that's going to cost a little...</p>

<p>ummmm, most schools accept PSAT schores, take a few practice tests, and see how you score on that. You may want to re-apply for sophmore year becaise getting accepted as a junior is HARD. From what you've told me of your current situation, you may want to wait until next year to apply (instead of trying to make rolling) </p>

<p>And BS's dont often offer merit scholarships, so you may want to try for need based FA.</p>

<p>if i re-apply for sophomore year will colleges think i'm stupid/a slacker?</p>

<p>A few boarding schools offer merit aid. You will find them if you search Boarding</a> School Review - College-Prep & Jr. Boarding Schools. However, you need to offer them something that they cannot get from their regular applicant pool. </p>

<p>Almost all offer financial aid. Your parents need to qualify.</p>

<p>Okay, I nade a typs, most schools accept SSAT scores, not PSAT.
And No, I don't think colleges will find ANY fault in your your re-application for sophmore year at a boarding school.</p>
