<p>@vivsters,
The only point of boarding school isn’t to improve your college admissions chances. Yes, boarding school will help your college admissions chances, (Please no fights about this, those things really get under my skin) but there are so many other points. Boarding schools try to create a really stimulating intellectual environment and really help you learn, which to me is more important than the improved college admissions chances us boarding school students will enjoy. For my parents, I had to show them the college admissions stuff to convince them to let me apply.</p>
