Scared of being disappointed- prep school admissions!

I’m going to be applying to boarding schools next application cycle and I am SO SCARED!!! I’m applying for 11th grade (I am an incoming sophomore) and feel like I am going to be rejected and disappointed. I definitely have the dedication, personality, extracurriculars, etc. but I fear that I am not going to come out on top. Any advice or encouraging stories??

Cast a wide net – there are lots of excellent school out there, so do your research to find ones where you will be happy and bright something to the community.

Whether you think you can, or you can’t. You’re right.

My daughter applied as a repeat Junior last year and was accepted to one of the three HADES schools she applied to. I don’t recommend applying to only 3 schools, we didn’t know any better. However, you can be accepted as a Junior. Good luck!

Apply to some schools with high acceptance rates that you would be happy to attend. Show them a lot of interest.
