Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, I wasn’t really sure where else to do it.
I’ve been doing a lot of research on Interlochen’s boarding school, and it looks amazing. I’m specifically interested in their creative writing and songwriting/guitar courses, as they seem serious and anything one could hope for in a class geared towards those subjects.
I just have a couple questions for anyone who’s either going or has gone. The major one is, how much financial aid do they provide you? When I showed the cost to my parents, they were understandably shocked, and I think that without financial aid, I probably won’t even bother applying.
Also, would I be the only senior applying? I’ve read on another forum that Interlochen gets a lot of new seniors, but it was posted a few years ago, so I don’t know if that’s changed at all.
Moreover, is it worth it to transfer in my senior year? I’ve never been entirely comfortable at my current high school, even though I’ve made good friends here, since it just has a certain vibe to it that I can’t relate to. Also, our music and writing programs are kind of weak, so I mostly just do those things on my own. I really want to get involved in a school-ish way without feeling like my contributions are going nowhere, and Interlochen seems like a good fit; I just want to make sure that I won’t be making a rash decision by applying for my last year.
Any advice is appreciated
