<p>I go to Hotchkiss and it's just not the school for me. Has anyone else had this sort of trouble that could offer advice? I feel like my parents wanted me to go here because of the name when in reality I would strive more at a larger, less traditional school. When I was applying my parents made me look into all the HADES, and also like Groton, Loomis, and Choate, but really put pressure for me to go to a 'traditional' one, like Hotchkiss, Deerfield, or Groton.
Has anyone else faced this trouble with their school?
I'm a repeat freshman, so I have time to switch in as a sophomore somewhere. My parents think i should wait it out but if I wait any longer I won't be able to apply to a new school. I just wanna be safe ya know? The school is FANTASTIC for most, don't let my personal trouble dissuade you, I just have found I crave a more urban, diverse, and larger student bodied school. Thank you!</p>
<p>I remember your previous posts about being unhappy at your “Stepford” school, and feeling sympathetic. Now that you’ve named the school though, I think that you should ask a moderator to take down your post so that you have some confidentiality. In previous posts, you described yourself as a repeat sophomore, not freshman. Your best course of action now is to talk to your advisor and/or school counseling center to plan a course of action. Good luck!</p>
<p>ah, aren’t you a repeat sophomore (you mention this in plenty of your other posts)? confusing… i think your options would be quite different if you were currently a soph vs frosh. double repeats are rare and getting accepted as a junior is rather difficult.</p>
<p>If any of this is true, then I wish you the best of luck . . . it’s not an easy situation to be in.</p>
<p>But, like baystateresident, I am concerned by the inconsistencies between this most recent post and your earlier posts. I don’t know what is true and what isn’t. As for the “larger, less traditional” school of your dreams, I honestly can’t imagine what it might be. The largest schools also tend to be the oldest and most established schools . . . they are certainly not the ones I’d describe as non-traditional!</p>
<p>Honestly, you had my support previously, but the story you’re telling just doesn’t make sense anymore.</p>
<p>You want a “larger” boarding school in an urban area? Is there such a thing?</p>
<p>Maybe it’s time to reconsider your day school options.</p>
