oh ya , um can i say something, We all have litterally the same credits. Like all honors, highest math, etc. Like most students appying have the same class diffulty, relitive standard testing scores, after school activities, and even awards. So how are they deciding who gets in and who doesnt?
Good luck! I believe decisions come 05/01/2021.
Good luck to everyone in this thread!
HEY! Anyone know what sports IMSA offers?
Heres a page on their website about IMSAās athletics:
My disappointment in the sports is indescribable 
Well, at least they still have basketball
Haha. They are known not to have football. Were you expecting them to have football?
I think this page doesnāt have all the sports available at IMSA. I know they have table tennis. Not sure if they have any others not listed on the site
I was hoping for wrestling and football -.-
I knew they didnt have football but I was questing wrestling
I know IMSA has a lot of clubs, so there could be a wrestling club.
I hope so! Anyway I wanna know why you guys wanna get into IMSA! You donāt gotta share if ya donāt want to, but if you guys are comfortable with sharing I would love to hear! Like what you guys dream about changing/doing in the future.
My sister goes there, and my mom has this plan to move our entire family to Chicagoland (weāre in central). Also, IMSA gives you a huge advantage to schools in Illinois(mainly UIUC), and I get opportunities to do SIR, soā¦ yeah
but mainly, if I stay here, I donāt get enough opportunities, and I have to show a āfakeā side of me to actually fit in, cuz ppl do tease me for being smart (and deal w racism too)
i think itās for the opportunity to be in a better school with more academically oriented people. the schools that iāve went to (and currently go to) arenāt bad, but they arenāt really great either.
I agree. The teachers are all great, but I never feel comfortable. I lead the math team independently, but my principal told me that I was wasting paper and said I wasnāt allowed to use the school printer
dude that sucks so much. the middle school that i went to was kind of similar as only me and a friend advocated for the math and science teams, but not as bad to where authority would say that youāre wasting paper. massive respect to you for persevering, though.
im going to do basketball if I make it in too, kinda dissapointing they donāt have football though. 
I use to go to a great school ranked 10/10 then I had to move and now I go to a 5/10. Completely different atmospheres. The students at my new school donāt care: they donāt honor or respect authority, nor do they pay attention or complete homework. During art, the students are throwing clay on the ceiling while the teachers just watch. It is frustrating to be associated with them, they are clowns. My schools average senor SAT is around 900. Not to mention the amount of bulling I received for wrestling; the school tells me they care, but when I speak up about it they do nothing. I am not gonna say my school is bad, because I have grown as a person, but I canāt say I have learned much. I want to go to IMSA because I want to grow academically, socially, and intellectually.
IKR! What position do you play? Iām forward guard! How long has you been playing basketball? I have since I was 5 then I took a 2 year break in 5th and 6th. I can do all the moves but dribbling between my opponents legs! Are you good? Because My raw skill is good but my game play is decent.
