<p>I have a very peculiar situation. I went to a boarding school in New England, and I left after the end of my junior year for personal reasons. I am currently a repeat junior at a private day school, and I absolutely hate it. Everything, from the academics to the social life, is abysmal. The academic component is the worst part, my classes are so easy that I cam getting near perfect grades with minimal effort (including a couple AP's). However, I am very unhappy, because I am learning nothing. I have a 2110 on the sat's as well as good scores on the SAT II's so I am pretty much set with standardized testing (I am not going to apply to any Ivy's). If things keep going the way they have been, my cumulative unweighted GPA for four years should be around a 3.5 by the end of the year. Being home has made me realize how much I miss boarding school life. I want to know if it would be possible to apply to boarding school as a new senior. Seeing as how I have already repeated junior year once, I would not be willing to do it again so I would have to be applying for senior year. Given my stats would I have a decent shot at the following schools: Blair, Peddie, Taft, Kent, Hotchkiss, Hill, Andover, Choate, or Lawrenceville? I am looking for a challenging school that will provide a good bridge to college. If anyone has any advice or anecdotes they would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>Are there any academic programs you can do now to challenge yourself that do not require another school change? My D is taking a language class at a local school (an ivy) and often attends science lectures on Saturdays there as well. College admission is a complicated process and changing schools a lot (voluntarily) may make you look indecisive, without direction. This is not a character trait colleges value.
Try to acclimate better to your hometown, get involved in community activities. This shows flexibility and openness, two traits that are valued by colleges.
Good luck. </p>
