I canāt stress this enough but in the endā¦ M10 is going to come and its going to passā¦Weather you get accepted or notā¦ in the big scheme of things, it will be a little road markerā¦ In a couple years, its going to be another date as we chew our nails off waiting for college decisionsā¦ And after that another deadline and twoā¦
I had a pretty bad M10 last year, but you know whatā¦ I still had an awesome year and had opportunities I might not have had if I was at BSā¦
What ever road M10 leads you ontoā¦ Make it your ownā¦
Yep I started a new book: The Master and Margarita.
Right now Iām looking for the things I love about my current schoolā¦ I was surprised, Iāve been finding a lot of reasons to stay.
Question: My school doesnāt do letter grades, instead it does No Credit (basically a fail, a grade below 75%), Credit (75% - 89%, a passing grade, and Honors (90% plus an extra project, passing with Honors).
Anyway, some other schools do this, and Iāve heard getting Honors is equivalent to taking an Honors class. Do you guys think this is the case? If not, what is Honors equivalent to?
On a thread from a couple years ago, I saw that a few users created a running list of songs that helped distract them in the days leading up to March 10th. I am a quite anxious person, so waiting for M10 to arrive has been horrible for me- but music has definitely helped.
Above I pasted a link to a Spotify playlist I made that has some songs that simply just put me in a good mood! It is collaborative so feel free to add some of your favorite songs!!!
MODERATORāS NOTE:
And I deleted the link - not allowed.
hiā¦ wanted to mention that Deweykid goes to Putney (definitely a lesser known school) and the head of school announced a continuing trend of more applicants again this year. My understanding is that its quite a bit more competitive than even just a few years ago.
I do think you answered your own questionā¦ Getting an Honors is equivalent to getting a 90%, and in most grading scales thatās an A-, A, or A+. Getting an Honors in a class does not equate to taking an H.Class (substitute the word honors with āA gradeā). Sure its a wonderful achievement but its an achievement in the course you are taking. For example, getting an Honors in World History, is not the same as getting an A in an H. World History course, simply because the classes were designed different with either different content, additional projects, more challenging tests, etc.
Note: The above applies unless your school states that a normal class is a equivalent to a H. classā¦
Plus, Honors courses are usually required to go onto AP courses (unless you test into one)ā¦
Holy moly guys I am so nervous but I also feel burned out and indifferent. My performance in school is gradually going down for some reason and I constantly feel tired. This started right after the application cycle ended. Honestly, since I am in a different time zone the results come for me very early in the morning on March 11. My feelings are hard to explain.

So I never got to schedule an interview at one of the schools I applied to (Deerfield). They said they would waive the interview, but I just got an email from a staff member asking to set up a Skype interview - does it mean anything that they still want one this late in the game? Or am I just wishful thinking?
The latter. Donāt try to read anything into the tealeaves before M10; it wonāt work. The only thing that is worth reading into is the communication that you get on M10.
@Deejung
Donāt let M10 affect you (especially not your academics)!
In a different time zone as well (12.5 hour time difference) so I get what you meanā¦ I guess its rly M11 for us
