<p>le rosey has like a 90 percent acceptance rate it is for rich kids, there academics suck, and it is very very very easy to get into. they do not really accept students for there academics its basically if you can pay for it you can go kind of thing</p>
<p>ahahahaha it says on there website " a prestigious international school" lawl wow what a fail. you think andover or exeter would “have” to put something like that on there website?</p>
<p>Yeah the prestigious thing is a little bit weird and they really wouldn’t have to do that, since it’s well known and respected.</p>
<p>Lemmings it would seem as if you have no experience whatsoever in applying to Le Rosey or their admissions numbers. The fact is that almost every1 who applies there can pay but there are limited spots. Also most ppl who apply there have very good grades and the academics at Le Rosey are nothing to sneeze at. They are indeed one of the better IB schools in Europe. And I suppose that you don’t live here or know any current student or applicant.</p>
<p>They accept about 33% of all applicants. It’s not Hades but it’s nowhere close to 90%. In fact you have to have well above avarage grades (not great, but very good) to get in and score well on their tests. They also as I already said enforce a strict quota on how many ppl that get accpeted from which countries. Next time look into the facts b4 u bash something.</p>
<p>How do I know this? Well my brother’s applying next year also i have a friend there and I bet that my brother could beat most of the kids here both academically and socially. Why does he wanna go to Le Rosey? Because Sweden can’t provide him with the same opportuinties in terms of education and preparation for life, also he’s a competing skier. he’s also a bit reluctant to go to the US when he really just wanna contiue on his IB program in a good environment with strong academics (and not to far away from home). It’s true that academics may not be as big part of the life at Le Rosey as it is at the HADES schools.</p>
<p>But these kids could buy their way into HADES. But maybe they just don’t want that kind of life? Maybe they want to be able to have some free time and not do five hours of homework every day and then a sport and perhaps another EC. This applies to my brother, he’s smart but he’s not willing to put down five hours of work on homeworks every day+ EC’s. Two-three hours are just fine with him, some kids don’t wanna spend their best years doing homework five hours per day.This is the student body that may be attracted by Le Rosey. Just a thought.</p>
<p>I love how they have a “chocolate break” that’s pretty cool. I think it is quite funny that they have “correctional fitness laps”. It seems like it would be nice to be there for a year or two just to have some fun. However I don’t really like the fact that their alum association is so heavily advertised/played up. In fact it seems that there is more on their website about their alum association than the actual education. Please don’t confuse my message with me saying "I hate rich people, because lets be honest, if we could every last one of us would choose to be rich rather than not. The way we would spend our money would obviously differ (as I think that there are many people who squander their money on meaningless things). When it comes down to it I think a lot of the hatred is seated in jealousy.</p>
<p>haha laxislife-the chocolate break is a traditional thing part of swiss culture. Basically when you get home from school at around 4pm, you take a bit of chocolate and some bread and you eat it as a snack before dinner.And DeerfieldSwede, I couldn’t agree with you more.</p>
<p>More countries should have breaks like that. I think it’s a relaxing thing to be able to sit down for a few minutes a day and enjoy something as simple (or complex if you choose to see it that way) as chocolate and bread. There’s so much movement and activity throughout the day (especially at a boarding school) that a couple minutes of idling is a much needed break. Siestas should also be instated in every country. A nap in the middle of the day is probably one of the most satisfying things I think I have ever come across, it also gives me energy for the rest of the day (nobody functions at full power for an entire day on just 8 hours of sleep) and does not mess with sleep patterns. Anyways about Rosey… It sounds like a fine school, just not for everybody. I personally could not afford Rosey.</p>
<p>I know that Brentwood College School in Mills Bay Canada has a “cookie break”.</p>
<p>We did that chocolate break thing in French class the other day! Best thing we’ve done all year! :D</p>
<p>Seriously. It should be mandatory in every country.</p>
<p>“I bet that my brother could beat most of the kids here both academically and socially”</p>
<p>how does one “beat” a person socially…? just out of curiosity…</p>
<p>does anyone know of any boarding schools that still aloud smoking cigarettes?</p>
<p>beat socially- actually talk to people and are good at it or something along those lines.</p>
<p>Lemmings please please…well I’m not…like super nerdy or anything but I’m an ESL person so please try to spell words correctly!!! Please!!! It’s been bugging me for a while…
(sorry if this sounds offensive)</p>
<p>“When it comes down to it I think a lot of the hatred is seated in jealousy.”</p>
<p>Laxislife - Don’t you mean ‘envy’? </p>
<p>“does anyone know of any boarding schools that still aloud smoking cigarettes?”</p>
<p>lemmings - Always start a sentence with a capital letter, and “aloud” means ‘speaking so as to be heard’. You want ‘allow’ ( with no ‘ed’ since it is present tense) in your question above. By the way, I cannot answer it.</p>
