<p>you seem like a great candidate.. lots of ECs, great grades..not sure how ssat works, so i cant judge that since im not a prep kid but i can say you definitely look like a shoe-in if that SSAT is good</p>
<p>that SSAT is good, but im not so sure if i have enough ECs. have you read some other ppl's stats? they are CRAZY. i dont play an instrument, but theres people who play like three different ones. and i have only one sports, but there are ppl who have like five different ones...</p>
<p>oh, try to be more optimistic....

let's concentrate on that...;)</p>
<p>I can almost promise you'll get into at least one of those prep schools. But if not, it's not the end of the world. Public school really isn't all that bad.</p>
<p>and i hope that one is exeter or andover. i once had a ridiculous wish of getting into all of them, but then really, exeter and andover are the best of these, so yeah.</p>
<p>cant keep this thread out of the first page until friday! here, right now is wednesday night.</p>
<p>well, since i had a dream, i guess i did sleep, but i woke up super earlier than usual. i had a dream. it was the march 9th, and i got a bunch of packages from SCHOOLS THAT I DIDNT EVEN APPLY TO! is that a good sign?
also (in the dream) i got an issue of national geographics, and it said that applicants have been waiting too long- that in dog/cat time, time goes faster by a day and five hours(which doesnt make any sense at all). so i went online to check up on my choate decisions...then i woke up!!!
did any other ppl have weird dreams already? loooooong time ago i had a dream that i semi- got rejected at andover. like, in the dream, i wasnt sure if i got accepted or not. </p>
<p>anyway, ppl, ITS TOMMOROW!!!!
p.s.: will we 'get' our mails tom, or will the schools 'send' them on march tenth?</p>
<p>My moms going to text message me at school when she gets the desicions. Don't worry I always keep my phone in my locker. But this way I'll know ahead of time. I could not imagine going home and having to find out that way.
Hey my stats were on the previous page. Any body know what my chances of getting in would be?</p>
<p>but how would your mom feel if she founds out that you didnt get in? (not that i think that, but just in case)
tommorow's the day!!!!</p>
<p>I have a feeling that I won't get my letters until March 17th'ish which is crazily insane! It's been taking a week for the mail to get here, as in, everything that they've sent so far...</p>
<p>you see, you can always call after march 15th to find out.
and...i forgot my letter from hotchkiss! it has the online decision info on them! what to do what to do????</p>
<p>I can't wait to here the decisions. Maybe you guys could post your Rejected/Accepted and your stats?</p>
<p>I've already started filling out my application to my backup school... atleast if I dont get into Cate, it won't be a total let down. It's just, Cate is "the" school for me. It seems such a perfect fit... I just hope the admissions people agree...</p>
<p>Has anyone forgot to put something on their application or metioned in their interveiw? Theres a few things I wish I would have said that would up my chances... and I totally forgot to put a few things on my application, mainly because it didn't ask for them but, still... I had a dream about that last night... having to drive all the way to Cali just to tell them that I'm into graphic design (one of the things I forgot), haha.</p>
<p>my dream (7 posts up!) was messed up...when i told my mom about it, she was like that was a dog dream (in korea, we interpret dreams with dogs as bad luck and dreams with pigs as good luck), but she soon changed her mind and said she didnt quite mean that.
anyway, i hope that the cat (an adorable orange kitty i saw in the dream, in front of my house,in the dream) cancels out the word 'dog' (on the national geographics cover i got in the dream)!!! =)
was that confusing. i bet it was.</p>
<p>WOW, I just looked up Cate online (I'd never heard of it before + wanted to check it out), that school is GORGEOUS! Good luck!</p>
<p>ex2: I know... It's so amazing :)! I really don't think I'll get in though... For once it'll be my grades that don;t get me somewhere, ussually they're the best part. If they were just a bit higher and I did better on my SSAT's I'd have a better chance...</p>
<p>Hey, are we moving over the boarding school results or something?</p>
<p>i think we should...i mean, this is the "countdown" thread. now that the countdown's almost over, we should move from the countdown to the "results" thread.</p>
<p>i don't know. i already posted on it. but whatever you do, don't read pgs4 and on for a few more pages. it depressed me- seeing all those bright ppl gettin waitlisted&rejected.</p>
<p>actually, now that you mention it, i think i will. it will lower my spirits, and that way, if i get rejected, i will think, "well i always knew that was going to happen" and if i get accepted, i will be ten times more happier. lol if that makes sense.</p>
<p>okay now, ppl, as the starter of this thread, i'm officially ending it. so until someone decides to bump this up (maybe next year, no? for ppl like jonathan.k), here it ends.
let's concentrate on our results now (tho i wont be posting if i got in or not until i get all of my results from my 6 schools)!!!
