Im at a top Boarding School and I want to transfer.....need help

Prep School Admissions
1

<p>Well, this year as a junior I enrolled at a top boarding school in the northeast.... However, it hasn't been what i expected it to be... first of all...i feel that a lot of the students are underachievers and snobby....who have no drive... (this is at a top school even)....who got everywhere because of mom and dad
So...I was thinking of redoing my junior year at another school....
I need help with school suggestions...</p>

<p>I am probably going to score within the 190 range on the psat this year...
My schedule is pretty rigorous: 3ap's 1 honors and 1 regular...
athletics: strengths are swimming, squash and tennis
music: deejay</p>

<p>what schools would you recommend??</p>

<p>First of all, you will have to understand that at every top boarding school, there will be legacy admits - how else do you explain those endowments that bought you such a nice school?</p>

<p>I would guess that since you have found them at your current school, you will be able to find them at any of your school's peer schools, so I would not recommend running from your current school for that reason.</p>

<p>I'm sure there are enough bright, unpretentious, hard working kids at your school if you go looking for them. They are quietly hiding someplace studying their rear ends off. Ignore the rest.</p>

<p>that's like
the point of a prep school
always feeling like you're with the rich people who will run the world sooner or later</p>

<p>your goal is to find the ones that will RULE the world without any help from daddy.</p>

<p>You've been at school for how long? less than a month? IMO it's too soon to be thinking about transferring. Have you really given your current school a chance? And why redo your junior year?</p>

<p>How are your classes, your schoolwork, your sports going? If these are good, the rest will follow. There are the type of people you describe, basically at every private school. In college this happens too. Unless the classes and other stuff is not your cup of tea, you should give it more of a good faith effort. You couldn't have met everyone yet.</p>
