<p>is there anything anybody can tell me about mccallie and baylor and episcopal
i know all hades are great but i live up north and im tired of it all and i want to go to a southern boarding school
any suggestions other than the ones above?</p>
<p>North as in Kentucky?</p>
<p>McCallie is an all-boys school; it is about 30% boarding; it is Christian based. (I know that years ago, it had chapel everyday; every boarder had to attend Church, Sunday School and Vespers every Sunday; and every sophomore had to take a full year of Bible in a graded course. I don’t know if the school still stands on these requirements.)</p>
<p>Wouldn’t Mccallie be a stretch since you claimed in another post to be a girl currently attending Emma Willard.</p>
<p>glad someone keeps track of this stuff.</p>
<p>KC has variously claimed to be a girl from Kentucky and a boy from Alabama.</p>
<p>lol. it is actually quite funny… my he/she is a transvestite? i wonder how boarding schools would handle that??</p>
<p>Episcipal is near Washington D.C. It’s all boarding. I got rejected from there a couple years ago.</p>
<p>Old1 your right. It (KCharles) also claims to have been accepted to some schools but still applying for others. What is its problem??
I have never seen something so wierd on College Confidential…</p>
<p>PreppyChica: I think that you mean transgender person, or transexual. And, this is something that Andover is dealing with, as they have apparently had transgender applicants… The Gay-Straight Alliance discussed it last year…It becomes a complicated issue.</p>
<p>It could be siblings, sharing the same account. They could even be fraternal twins. There are families who need to place two or more children at once.</p>
<p>Transgender applicants to Andover? Lets not go crazy here. Plastic surgeons will not fix a girls nose before 16, and you are seriously perpetuating a myth of transgender applicants? before one has that type of surgery, one must have quite a number of years of hormone treatments,psycotherapy etc. Even if parents permit such a surgery, its physically impossible in a teenager.</p>
<p>mhmm, transgender is a term used to described one’s gender identity, and does not imply surgery or other medical intervention (you can check it out on Wikipedia or google search), so it seems reasonable that schools may have had transgender applicants. However, the original poster seems to be simply inconsistent, rather than anything else, to what purpose we can only guess though it’s not worth our effort.</p>
<p>There have been cases of Klinefelter’s Syndrome. XYY is also a possibility, it is just that the majority of people with this condition are not aware that they have it.</p>
<p>Don’t most who have Klinefelter’s regard themselves as male?</p>
<p>Yes. Technically speaking all genetic disorders of this type would be considered a male, as long as there is at least one Y chromosome. I believe Klinefelter’s is XXY.</p>
<p>Kind of odd that this has turned into a post on transgendered students—but there are actually a few of them at boarding schools right now. I know since I worked with one and placed her at a school. As someone else said, surgery isn’t a factor here, it is just how a student indentifies. The boarding schools that I know of who enroll transgendered kids (there are only 3 that I know of), have them continue to live in the dorm of the sex that they are born with, but they can dress in the clothes of the sex that they identify with. I know this seems odd, but at the right school, with the right community, and the way that teens are so accepting these days, it really isn’t as much of an issue as you would guess.</p>
<p>yes, there is a transgender student at a private school I used to go to. No one really seemed to care and she was very nice. I think private schools are better for transgender students, because public schools tend to be quite harsh.</p>
