<p>Don’t feed the ■■■■■■!</p>
<p>Le Rosey isn’t preppy in itself but they force the students to
conform to rules that make the students preppy.</p>
<p>there are alot more things that are important to me and there are alot of other reasons why i want to attend a prep school, and all my teacher tell me i have the academics. i want to go to a really good boarding school but i just want to make sure i attend one that will fully meet my preppy needs ok.</p>
<p>look into wentworth military academy, i hear that kids there just LOVE abercrombie</p>
<p>haha…</p>
<p>OMG 2010! you posted at 11:11!!:!!</p>
<p>Buy yeah, you guys pounce too hard on everyone you think could possibly be a ■■■■■. Not EVERYONE who comes on here and asks a question is a ■■■■■, just sayin’…</p>
<p>A real Prep would laugh at you if you say “like people who wear Abercrombie”. For a real Prep, those are posers. lol</p>
<p>^good point, I’ve been trying to avoid saying that though. Some of their stuff could be determined preppy…if you look at it. Hollister =/= preppy though. imo</p>
<p>I will post again at 12:12</p>
<p>and then at 13:13</p>
<p>I am intensly studying for my bio sat. I made like 300 flashcards already but only have gotten through like 10 / 40 chapters in my review book. I might not even have time to look at the flashcards. ONE WEEK UNTIL TEST!!!</p>
<p>I might even post again at 14:14.</p>
<p>I wasn’t pouncing, just giving the same advice I give to all applicants - be yourself, otherwise they won’t be able to tell whether you’d be happy there or not. If the OP wants a school with the most full pay students, then she should ask about that at her interview, along with what kind of clothing most students wear.</p>
<p>Some kids want advanced science electives, others consider different factors in determining the “right enviroment” as the OP states in her first post. She’s concerned about finding the right fit, which is what so many here give lip service too. There’s nothing wrong with that. In both posts 1 and 10, she feels that only a school that meets some kind of preppiness quota with be the “right enviroment.” I respect that.</p>
<p>So again, I advise to make sure that you make your requirements clear when you go for your interview, which, as far as I can tell, revolve income per student and that store. Is that the one, by the way, in the mall with the giant photo of the naked guy in the entrance? Yeah, I like that store too. I’ve never been in it, but something about it appeals to me.</p>
<p>Lip service. Nice phrase. haha</p>
<p>WONDERFUL, neatoburrito. As neato says, prepy, make sure you tell all your interviewers that you don’t want your prep school experienced spoiled by kids with financial need. I’m sure that’ll go over really well.</p>
<p>Your “preppy needs”… I laughed. Sorry. At Andover, there used to be a few freshmen who dressed in all Abercrombie, J. Crew, Vineyard Vines… Whatever. That contingent is barely extant at this point in the year. You’ll enter boarding school as a na</p>
<p>No, not at that specific moment you weren’t. I was talking about how in general whenever I come back onto this board and there’s like someone asking a question about what kind of schools they should look for or something, and they have some preferences, somebody always goes ‘don’t feed the ■■■■■’. I just decided to post it on this thread b/c I’m lazy. Not speaking to you personally.</p>
<p>But yeah, that’s Abercrombie & Fitch, the adult version, most teens go to Abercrombie, the spin-off teen version.</p>
<p>Prepy, if you are looking for a school to “fully meet your preppy needs,” I suggest looking into places other than the ones you mentioned. Inclusion and diversity are characteristics that these schools (e.g. Deerfield) strive for. Like Tom said, it’s fine if you choose to dress a certain way (and quite frankly, the way you dress does not embody “preppiness” at all), but you immediately lose my respect through your asinine priorities in choosing a school.</p>
<p>tom i get where you are coming from but the schools that have dress codes E.g. MX,DA,THS were fairly preppy. like at my revisit at MX i saw a lot of pastel shorts and pastel shirts and polos but also the kids have to wear a collared shirt but as you said they was a lot of diversity in clothing brands.</p>

<p>I applaud you! That’s precisely what I’ve been thinking all along, but I’ve been trying to avoid saying it. However, I feel like I really need to give the OP a clue now so he/she doesn’t show up a truly preppy school, BS (if he/she can find one. I don’t know of any in existence.) or otherwise, and regret their decision. </p>

<p>I don’t know WHERE you got the notion that ANY of the top tier (or even most of the lower tier schools, I think. But I dont know much about them so I can’t speak from experience.) boarding schools are even the slightest bit as you described your dream school to be. ALL of them have a fair number of students on FA, and even at schools where the majority of kids dress in a “preppy” manner, there will always be a good number who don’t. And let me just tell you, “preppy clothing” means jcrew, ralph lauren, lily pulitzer, vineyard vines… etc. Abercrombie, Hollister, and American Eagle just won’t cut it at a true preppy school with truly preppy kids. Trust me, I have a closet full of preppy clothing and currently go to the preppiest day school on earth. From experience I know that lots of truly preppy kids aren’t very nice, nor are they very tolerant of wannabes. I have seen people who get shunned by the entire student body just because they don’t wear the right clothes. It’s very, very sad. These horrible people at my current school are one of the biggest reasons I’m going to BS for high school, besides the fact that my current school just can’t meet my academic needs. I would seriously advise you to rethink your goal of attending a very preppy school, because even if you fit the preppy kid mold perfectly (have all the money, a huge house, preppy clothing, social eliteness… Etc) you might find that attending a preppy school with a student body composed solely of other truly preppy kids like you to be a suffocating, miserable experience that will have you clawing your hair out and asking yourself over and over why in the WORLD you made the decision you did. </p>
<p>Just food for thought.</p>
<p>i didnt have the time to read any of these responses but i just want to let everyone know that im going to peddie this week for a campus visit:)</p>
<p>so when they ask you “why is peddie the school for you” or “why boarding school” your answer will be, “I want to be in an intellectual environment yet, I want a preppy school filled with preppy kids who buy all of their clothing from abercrombie” …? you may want to have some others reasons for individual schools besides the financial and ‘preppy’ aspect of it. good luck at peddie though this weekend!</p>
<p>Sorry I made a typo in my last post…</p>
<p>In the first section where I adressed prepveteran, I meant to say “However, now I feel like I really need to give the OP a clue so he/she doesn’t show up at a TRULY preppy school, whether it be a BS (if he/she can find one. I don’t know of any in existence.) or otherwise, and regret his/her decision to attend.” </p>
<p>Sorry guys!</p>
