<p>/removed a lot/</p>
<p>ach don’t worry I misread part of what Mainer said. I had a whole worked up speech too, which looked pretty good. Sorry!</p>
<p>Taft has an excellent summer program that’s available to those who’ve completed 7th grade.</p>
<p>i didn’t mean the WHOLE school was filled with people like that. It was hypothetical, but I do see myself as a non-braniac who is smart intellectually but it just doesn’t show though my grades b/c of lack of effort (too easy=no trying).</p>
<p>sorry excuse my dyslexia i actually drop words in my writing all the time
and i was rushed as well i had soccer practice and was about to leave</p>
<p>also i would like to add that i am in both ap classics and ap english lit as a sophomore and if you really think that i would care about my grammar and spelling on an online forum than you are either a parent or a pompous child, who thinks he knows everything just cause he has straight As there many things in life that are exceedingly more vital to a person’s life than grade-grubbing. please this is a forum not a classroom do not correct someone else’s grammar it is rather rude and inconsiderate of you</p>
<p>“…if you really think that i would care about my grammar and spelling on an online forum than you are either a…”</p>
<p>You mean ‘then’ not “than”.</p>
<p>IM DYSLEXIC god people only see what they what to
maybe you should learn how to read before you start commenting on other peoples grammar </p>
<p>“sorry excuse my dyslexia i actually drop words in my writing all the time”</p>
<p>Getting this thread back on track…Taft is actually in a really beautiful part of CT, although the town isn’t much to speak of. The interconnected buildings have to be a real plus in the winter. My D is also applying to PA and SPS where you’d definitely spend a lot of time slogging through the snow during the winter.</p>
<p>leanid, you should become an English teacher if you have not yet, and use your energy there. You seem addicted to proofreading others’ posts.</p>
<p>I toured taft a few months ago and gave it a B. i like it a lot more than choate, but it seemed realy… average. it didnt really seem like a prep school to me…</p>
<p>xxDaisyxx, what were your favorites?</p>
<p>Hcos,</p>
<p>I am sorry. It didn’t register that you were being sincere. Please accept my apologies.</p>
<p>Its fine that is really the place where my dyslexia shows unfortunately, you have no idea how many times i have to proof read my writing.</p>
<p>Taft campus was my favorite of the TSAO schools. The architecture is great and I like the way the buildings connect (especially for the Winter). Academically, Taft has a strong reputation placing a large percentage of students in Ivy League and top universities. Also, I hear the students have a good community and service focus.</p>
<p>Has anyone here received any sort of acknowledgement from Taft that the application has been received? Much obliged!</p>
<p>I did, in the form of a letter.</p>
<p>How recently did you receive the letter? They received the application and cashed the check almost three weeks ago.</p>
<p>Like a few days after I sent the letter. It was awhile ago. :/</p>
<p>Argh! Guess I"ll have to call them. Thanks!!!</p>
<p>no problem! 
that’s probably a good idea.</p>
