Junior Year… 2.0?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>[This is probably the wrong place for this, but i'll try anyway. I posted it in prep school admissions as well, but it does not directly pertain to admissions, but rather my high school career.]</p>

<p>I'm currently a sophomore, with top academics and extracurriculars among students at my public high school, which is of lower quality.</p>

<p>I have a strong desire (for many reasons, which I won't get into here) to complete the last two years of my high school experience at a boarding prep school. However, the deadlines for most have already passed, and I have not applied to any (again, for many reasons, which I won't get into here).</p>

<p>Therefore, would it be at all plausible to complete my junior year at my current school, and then repeat it at a prep school? I would of course take different courses and broaden my extracurricular base. While some schools take wait list applications, financial aid would not be available, I have been informed.</p>

<p>Is this crazy? Could it benefit me? Would it just be a waste of time and money?</p>

<p>I would suggest that you avoid undergoing that action.</p>

<p>Don’t. </p>

<p>Waste of time and money. ‘Broadening your extracurricular base’ is something you can do individually and it’d be useless in the long run or the short run.</p>

<p>Eh, I don’t think it would be worth it. You’re going to be a junior soon. Which switching to a prep school (which is generally harder) could cause you to struggle a little in the beginning of junior year. And IN MY OPINION, junior year is more important than senior year because you have to take SATs/ACTs, and colleges look at this years’ transcript because it is when you’re at your prime. I think going to a prep school would’ve benefited you more if you started during freshman or soph year.</p>

<p>Don’t, transferring now would be pointless. Just stick with your current school!</p>

<p>What about studying abroad for a year, then transferring?</p>
