<p>ok guys so tommorow the decisions get mailed and im really getting nervous. i have a feeling i'm going to be waitlisted at the two schools i applied to. </p>
<p>and this really sucks because my mom never wanted me to go away to school. through this whole process she never supported me and told me it was never going to happen. so now if i dont get in, its gonna suck telling her.</p>
<p>ooh.
that really stinks.
where did you apply.
AND GOOD LUUCKK!</p>
<p>Unfortunately pretty much my whole grade knows (including teachers), so it will suck having to tell them I got rejected everywhere.</p>
<p>Krissy, I have to confess that our reaction to our daughter's announcement that she wants to attend BS was the same as your mom's. When we saw that it was hurting her feelings we changed our view and chose to listen to her reasoning. Over time we softened our view to the point where we understand her reasoning and supported her application. Sometimes parents have to take time to get over an initial reaction. Our initial reaction was not that D was not qualified but rather that we did not feel we could afford to send her and were not sure that BS would be a better choice. Over time we realize it's a very complicated decision with good and bad on both sides. We have decided we are taking a 'wait and see what happens' approach and have been honest with her about how we see things. It has turned into a very positive process for everyone. </p>
<p>Maybe the same can happen for you and your mom.</p>
<p>just give it time, it does suck that your parents arent supporting you, but hopefully they will come around. My parents knew that 'I was going to boarding school, since i was young, so I really dont know what it is like. However, I have known many people whose parents were hesitant at first but once they were there finally appreciated it. Good luck!</p>
<p>prepp- i applied to andover and milton. and thanks. </p>
<p>jonathan- that really sucks, i know how you feel. only two people (exluding my teachers) at my school knew i was applying to bs. eventually i told a few more people but i told every one of them not to say anything. but just last week i found out that one of the girls i had talked to, had told a bunch of my friends months ago. and even better? she told them while i was gone for a week, doing my interviews - just so i wouldnt find out. all i know is that if i do get into either of these schools, i hope people there arent as two faced and they are here. </p>
<p>laxtaxi- thanks for saying that.
i hope things do work out with my mom. it's been really stressful on the both of us. i also think that if i went away to school, somehow it might bring us closer. </p>
<p>ugh im so nervous. and i have a 4 page paper due tommorow, and i havent started. lol.</p>
<p>ughh. i told a few people that i
was probably not going to
public school,and i live in
kind of a small town,
and now everyone knows.
there was a kid that i used to
hang with, and yesterday her
dad asked me if i was nervous
for monday. i was like. how do you know?</p>
<p>My friends AUNT found out and I was like, okay then, wierd?</p>
<p>lol, hippo
I think wr're ALL nervous Krissy, and my parents are't really all that supportive of me either.
We just have to hang in there, be cause in this particular situation we have to do what's best for ourselves, not our parents.</p>
<p>Haha. Your parents must support you a LITTLE bit at least.
If they were totally against it then you'd have a heck of a hard time trying to come up with $160,000 for 4 years of school.</p>
<p>lol. its so weird how these random people find out.
i think some people just find it so strange that they have to tell people. then the whole snowball effect happens</p>
<p>Dazzlezzz- thanks.
i know, i need to think about myself right now and not just about what my parents want me to do or not do.</p>
<p>and crickett- im applying to be an upper so it would only be 2 years.
and also, my mom is the only one against it. my dad really wants me to go. he's the one who took me out to tour the schools and do my interiviews</p>
<p>I have about 25% support from my dad and 60% from my mom
they are all like " We'll discuss the option IF u get in" and I'm like thanks so much for your great support. jk.</p>
<p>The same happened to me. When I applied to choate last year, all my mom would say 'this is so stupid. you're wasting your time. nothing is ever going to happen.' Well, I got rejected. But I didn't feel "defeated" or upset about telling her. Why? because I discovered a new school, Exeter, and I'm awaiting their decision tomorrow. And really, no offense, but don't care what your mom thinks on your chances. She's not applying. YOU are. And congrats on all the effort you put in during this admissions process. That alone is something to be congratulated about. And whatever happens, it happens for a reason. I wish you the best of luck! And just keep your head up and think positive, no matter what happens!</p>
<p>My neighbor found out from one of his patients (he's a doctor) and I don't think I even know the patient. That's really weird.</p>
<p>I think thats is by far the wierdest padfoot</p>
<p>padfoot wins the wierd contest.</p>
<p>hahah. My Mom told her whole family that I applied to a school that is difficult to be accepted.</p>
