I applied in 6 Schools.
Got rejected from 3!
Waitlisted from 2!
I’m really depressed! I worked so hard for EXETER AND ANDOVER AND DEERFIELD.
I missed my own cousin’s marriage just to write down those essays!
All of them rejected me!
I was unlucky!
I will never forget this day.
I taught, I will be able to give my parents a good news.
But, that didn’t happened.
I’m depressed man. So, depressed.
Its okay. I know what you mean. Today I got waitlisted at 7 schools and rejected from 1.
@SportyStudent21 atlast, you have chances!
I have nothing!
It’s okay to feel down for a short time. But everything happens for a reason. Please understand that this is a disappointment, not a failure. More reason to cherish your current school.
@khanshaheb Hang in there…these boarding schools are not the be all end all. For example, my uncle went to Andover and left after a year because he had a rough social situation and ended up going to a local public high school. He is now a leading cardiologist and researcher. Things work out if you’re a hard worker and they will for you.
@Nachthexen567 it was my drem man!
yeah, my current school is also great!
My current school is one of the best school of our country.
But. deerfield was my dream.
And, you know, what happens when your dream got snatched by someone else 
@khanshaheb if you aren’t going into 12th grade this year, you can always choose to reapply. And your current school sounds awesome!
Now, I’m in 10 th grade.
Can I apply in 11th grade?
@khanshaheb yep!
@khanshaheb, if you want, you could also repeat tenth grade. just another option for you.
You can also apply to repeat 10th.
Did you do well on the SSAT ?
@khanshaheb You can always apply next year as an eleventh grader and you can apply as a repeat tenth grader. You still have the possibility of two waitlists right?
Yeap. I will try to repeat my 10th grade.
My ssat was not that much good.
But, Every other thing was extra ordinary.
I think, I have possibility of two other waitlists.
what were your waitlists?
Are you still waiting on one school? You said applied 6, Rejected 3, WL 2. So that leaves one right?
Forgive me for asking? But is English your first language? I know we are all super casual message board typing here but just reading through your posts I am wondering if you might need some help proof reading your essays. Also if you want to apply again, it’s been said before but a broader range of schools would vastly
Increase your chances… wishing you the best of luck
@LifeLongNYer No. English is not my first language.
I also got waitlisted my Milton academy @sunnyschool
I got waitlisted at Milton too and it was my first choice
