Prep School Admissions
1

<p>Hi guys,
I'm a highschool student from Viet Nam ( has anybody heard of my country?) and I'm intending to go to study at a prepschool in the US.
Unfortunately, I'm not quite familiar with the way you guys apply to prepschool and I hope I could receive some help from you.</p>

<p>Here are a few things that make me confused:
-What is some specific information that an international student should look for while applying to US prepschool?
- What is the decent TOEFL and SAT score that could help me to gain admission and receive financial aid from a good prepschool? ( say Tenschools- I must be in reverie, but why not give it a try)
- Any prepschool suggestions? I prefer schools in either Massachusetts or Connecticut.(Maine or New York is good,too)
-What are some special fields that some schools focus on? (Taft, Hocthkiss, Loomis, Deerfield or Williston Northampton)
- For you who are in prepschool, are there any international students from Asia in your school? Are they well-treated?</p>

<p>Thanks a bunch guys, and by the way, I'm planning to attend grade 11th</p>

<p>hey there. I'm from Singapore, and was in the same predicament earlier this year. But you're smart to be looking for the schools early.</p>

<p>Firstly, you should know this.Getting into 11th grade isn't very easy, but if you're good enough, in you go.</p>

<p>10 schools I've heard about and recommend</p>

<ul>
<li>Emma Willard (Girls)</li>
<li>Andover Phillips (mix)</li>
<li>Exeter Phillips (mix)</li>
<li>Groton (mix)</li>
<li>Hotchkiss (mix)</li>
<li>Deerfied (mis)</li>
<li>Loomis Chaffee (mix)</li>
<li>Hockaday (girls, I think)</li>
<li>Taft (mix)</li>
<li>Brearley (but it is not boarding, though it is in NY)</li>
</ul>

<p>Look around on this site and go many pages back to see the stats of people who applied for 07-08 year. Many of them also posted whether they got in or not. So have fun looking around, but make sure you know what you're looking for!</p>
