<p>I'm brazilian.
I'm trying to enter in Andover, prep school, but with finacial aid. I don't know HOW can I get scholarship...
Can someone explain to me step by step? It's emergency, because I will go to Boston, and I don't know if I'd get scholarship, they'll give me a place to stay on the prep school. I really, really need help.</p>
<p>You need to contact Andover. They are the ones who can answer your questions. This particular message board is for college financial aid (although maybe there IS someone here with experience with private school financial aid for an international student).</p>
<p>I thought that prep school students applied to the prep school and at that same time, applied for financial aid. Contact Andover...I'm sure they will tell you their process.</p>
<p>Thumper is right. They are the only ones who can help you. I believe that the do give financial aid who are accepted and show need, but don't know if they are need blind. You need to get their application and their financial aid forms, along with their explanation of how things work.</p>
<p>Thank you so much. I'll contact Phillips Academy, if I'd need more help, I'll post here. And if you knows someone thats studied in a prep school, and can help me, please, contact me.</p>
<p>Phillips Academy Andover is need-blind, and I think this applies to international students as well (but I am not certain about that).</p>
<p>What grade are you applying for? What do you mean about an emergency? Are you applying for next fall, or is there something more urgent? Andover will not have any spots for this school year that has already started.</p>
<p>Why are you only applying to one school? </p>
<p>I think that your post may have been moved to this Prep School Admissions forum, from a college topic. There are many prep school applicants, students, parents, etc. on this forum who can provide a lot of information. But, to be more helpful, it would be useful if you could provide a little more information (nothing too personally identifiable) about yourself and what you are looking for in a boarding school.</p>
<p>Contact Treda Collier, current designate for minority admissions. I am not sure if your international status qualifies, but it is a start.</p>
<p>Ok, I'll explain.
In Brazil, there aren't grades, but years. At High School, we have 3 years, I'm on the second year (16 years old, august 15, 1992 my birthday, I did 16 in this year). If I'm wrong, at EUA, there is one more year than here. So I'm going to Boston, and I need a good school like Phillips. It is emergency because I don't know anything about how I can enter in Andover without spend much. I'm trying to be admitted with schoolarship, and I need a place to stay too. To live in the school. The fact is that I don't know if Andover promote this, pay for I live and study there. My school resum</p>
<p>As you have been told, you need to contact PA and get their information on admissions and financial aid. PA is a very selective school and although there are scholarships available, it is very difficult to get admissions to the school, much less money. In order to get anything, you need to go through the same application procedures as everyone else who wants to go there. </p>
<p>I am sorry you are in an emergency situation, but that is not how school admissions are done. If you apply to PA now, it is almost certain that your admissions will not be until the next academic year. Applying is a process that is going to take you a lot of time, especially gathering the financial forms needed to fill out your financial aid applications. </p>
<p>If you are moving to the Boston area, I urge you to look at other options as well as at PA and other private schools that have an application process and are expensive. Do have a public option available because there is no guarantee, and maybe just a small chance you will get into a private school and get scholarship money to pay for it. Good luck in your move.</p>
<p>Please explain. You say you are moving to Boston but that you need to live at school? I assume that you are not moving there alone! When do you plan to move and where do you intend to live? Surely, you don't mean that you will move to Boston without an offer of admission! I think something might be lost in translation!</p>
<p>Also, what do you mean that you will go to Harvard? You have an early early early decision from them?! Do you really mean that you will apply to Harvard? I've never heard of Harvard granting admission to someone who still has nearly two years of high school left.</p>
<p>I believe Treda Collier wouldn't be of much help - she's the minority admissions person at Exeter, not Andover!</p>
<p>(That said, she's really nice and sweet and you should apply to Exeter!)</p>
<p>Ok.
Some questions, please:
Do Exeter and Andover give full schoolarship?Or an opportunity to work there, to live and study there?
My school resum</p>
<p>Each of Andover and Exeter has a web site. You can request the application materials, and review their financial aid policies. You generally will need to supply information regarding your parents income, and that will in large part determine scholarship availability. A resume (and I am not sure exactly what you mean by that) is not an application. You will need to file an application either by mail or on line if available. There are on campus interviews, but there may be other methods if distance prohibits an on campus interview.</p>
<p>Not to be mean, but how could it ever be an "emergency" to study at a particular school? How is this supposed to persuade an admissions committee to admit you? Harvard had over 27000 applicants last year, for a very small admit rate.</p>
<p>I don't think you had been mean when you wrote that, I need the opinion of people like you, actually. I'm going to try contact Andover by e-mail to get scholarship. In fact, the only way now is trying by e-mail. So I'm gonna do that. Thank so much, I'll post if I need more help.</p>
<p>I'm not sure you really understand about prep school admissions -you have to go through the application process - you fill out an application, take a standardized test, have an interview, fill out a financial aid application. You can't just email them and send a resume and ask for a scholarship, you have to fill out their application for admissions and application for financial aid and that kind of stuff in order to even get admitted there and be considered for attending the school and getting the money you need to attend the school.</p>
<p>Please Respond!</p>
<p>Hey, I can't seem to start my own thread so I'll just use this one. I'm a female sophomore applying to Andover as a junior next fall and I have straight A's with lots of extra-curriculars, tons of community service and excellent teacher recommandations. Though I am confident of my school work and such, I hear Andover is incredibly difficult to get into, so I also decided to apply to Proctor Academy NH. Does anyone know if I'm likely to get into either of these schools?</p>
<p>You might want to start a thread on the prep school chances section for more responses. Also, it might be helpful if you listed you ssat scores, etc. Please note that usually only fellow applicants will respond to chances threads. The only thing I will say about chances into Andover is that statisically, you've got a 20% chance of acceptance. So many factors come into play that it's really difficult to say. It will depend on how many applications they get for female juniors and how many beds they have available, whether you are an under-represented minority, whether you can pay full tuition....all kinds of things come into play. The figure you get from places like boadingschoolreview.com are general rates. It varies from grade to grade and nationality. If 300 Korean girls apply for 5 junior spots, of course the rate is much lower. The only thing someone can tell you is whether they think (and they don't make the decisions) you have the stats to make you competitive.</p>
<p>I'm sorry I can't be of any more use, but I think that honestly, that's all anyone can say.</p>
