<p>Lawrence Academy's acceptance rate is well over 50%</p>
<p>NMH? Yeah, I was wondering, why does no one ever talk about it as an option? I mean everyone wants to go to like hotchkiss, exeter, andover, etc. but no one ever mentions NMH...
I think it's a good option because it gives out like 7 milllion in FA and It has a large student body etc.</p>
<p>NMH is a great school. Not as big as it once was. They now have about 625 students and have consolidated onto one campus. A wide range of course offerings, good in the arts. Historically, has had a more liberal bent than some others bs.</p>
<p>Yeah, NMH is a good school--unique block schedule as well, right?
Also, Momof2sons, I don't think that's true anymore, (i.e. Lawrence over 50%.) Maybe several years ago, but it's become quite popular... A more liberal bent than the rest of the ISL. Also, it received a $10million gift last year--$5million to endowment, $5 to a new theatre/library. School on the rise, for sure.</p>
<p>Anymore boarding schools. I dont know if ill apply to NHM I heard there was a murder there.</p>
<p>Rember my average in 9th grade was a C-B
my average in 10th grade is probally an A so make sure the boarding schools are a safety match.</p>
<p>Westminster, perhaps. Cheshire Academy. Both in CT.
The Webb Schools in California.</p>
<p>"I heard there was a murder there." What ??? are you talking about??? Never heard such a thing.</p>
<p>Just wondering is an 80-89.9% considered a B in US? If so, what's the passing grade? 60%?</p>
<p>Frenchvanilla - that is correct</p>
<p>In some places, 85-92 is a B, such as where I live, but it usually varies with the system. A passing will usually be a 70%, given that there is no grade inflation. In that case, the passing mark would occur around 50%.
Either way, the numbers don't lie, but the letters do. :)</p>
<p>^^It's the same where I live.</p>
<p>Any response to my PM? :)</p>
<p>so, Chaos and Tommeister your both straight A students??? That's actually really Good...85-92 is a B, What's a C and what's a D...this system is freggin' depressing...If you get a 70 is it a D?</p>
<p>70 is an F, I think.</p>
<p>To Chaos: I wrote out a long, involved response to your intro, but my PM box was full, so it deleted it. Basically, you need to stick to the prompt more, and actually answer it, or at least begin to. It seems like you're trying to be too philosophical with it. You need to be direct.</p>
<p>Yes, a 70 is an F.
Ah, I see. So it shall be. Or so I shall try. I have received mixed responses. I'll send you another copy soon after, and perhaps you can edit that as well.</p>
<p>Ok. I mean, the writing is good, but your content needs work. Good luck.</p>
<p>70 is an F?? OMG!!! That's soooo crazy!! I can't believe that!!
So If the schools that revieve my transcript, see I got a 69% in math, last year(not even honors math), it will be considered a fail? In Canada it's a B-/C+</p>
<p>So, everyone who says they got like an A- on this site got like a 90something?? that's sooo depressing...</p>
<p>I believe it works something like this:<br>
100 - 90 A
89 - 80 B
79 - 70 C
69 - 60 D
From 59 on, that would an F, which is a failing grade. At least that is how the grading scale has been unless something drastic happened that I am clueless about. I believe this is the standard grading scale. Some independent schools use a 6 point or 11 point scale. </p>
<p>I guess I really am clueless given that you are all giving different scales. My son spent 9 years at an independent school with a 6 point scale. I had no idea that public schools had moved so far from the old scale.</p>
<p>A 75 is a D.
a 64 is a F</p>
<p>I want to apply to NHM do I have good grades for it.</p>
