You are amazing, @stargirl3!
Crossing fingers and toes for you as well, @stargirl3. You will be an asset to whatever school you end up at!
So far:
Accepted: Westover (no FA), Solebury (FA on the way)
Waitlisted: Cate, Mercersburg, St. Andrew’s, Blair
Rejected: Taft, Lawrenceville, Exeter, Peddie
Woohoo! You’re faring better than me! @stargirl3
Congrats! Been rooting for you since the beginning, and good luck with Andover (if you applied).
hoping the FA at Solebury comes through for you. (But really hoping the mburg waitlist comes through for you.)
YAY!! It’s a start Hopefully Solebury comes through with FA.
Hope your FA comes through!
Rejected from Brooks.
Waiting on Andover, Groton, and Dana Hall.
WL at Andover and Groton.
fingers (and everything else) crossed for Dana Hall!!
Today was not what I had hoped for, and not what anyone (except my mom) expected. Moral of the story: mothers are always right.
What’s up with stupid Dana Hall? Send the email already!
You are a STAR, girl - no matter what! Blow them all away as you go through HS. Write a book about it all and make Millions!! You’ll be great in spite of (or maybe BECAUSE of) it all…
I want an honorable mention in that book by the way.
stargirl, it has been an odd day in the world of acceptances in some circles. I realize you did not get what you hoped for but I would hope you could love the ones who love you. You’ve got what it takes to do well at boarding school and it is exciting that there are those schools who can finally recognize that. So excited for you to have gotten those acceptances and hoping the stars will align for you so that one can be the one. Congratulations.
^^^^agree. All the best, Stargirl. So glad you got at least a couple options-- and hope enough FA comes through, but sincerely wish you had more choices. Still, you will take full advantage of wherever you are and I believe you will be very happy. You know, all these BS talk about character, and these days are saying that perseverance and resilience and the biggest predictors of success in school and beyond. You have all these traits in spades. Best of luck.
I posted this somewhere else but I wanted to put it here. I finished re-reading Stargirl last night.
Stargirl,
Hoping Dana Hall came through for you! Or some excellent FA at Solebury. You have so many of us cheering for you!!
We’re still eyeing numbers, but it’s looking like it’ll be Solebury.
