<p>You never no the chances of getting in. I'll just tell all you kids out there that there's no way to know. Don't get your hopes up and think you'll get in even if you think you have it in the bag. Tons of "less qualified" students get in to places that "more qualified" kids don't. If you're smart and well rounded it helps, but your spot is never set in stone. There are alot of different kids that could get in. They could be rich, they could be connected, or maybe they're just a left handed tuba player and you're not. It's really a bunch of bull, but that's prep school admissions. I got in to prep school, although my friend who is as smart as me didn't and he was Turkish. I don't know but it seems to me you can never tell. The whole "prep school chances" think is a bunch of crap. All you kids will know exactly what I'm saying in a year.</p>
<p>Truly oracular wisdom.</p>
<p>Very true. VERY. Chances=so bogus, filled w/ desperate students trying 2 predict their chances. U CAN’t!</p>
<p>It really depends on what the school is looking for. If they are down left handed tuba players, they will accept left handed tuba players. If they are down cross country runners, they will accept cross country runners.</p>
<p>Very true. Some of the “advice” is so…far fetched. Like a handwritten thank you letter to the interviewer and tour guide will get u admitted. It would probs b NICE, but wouldn’t tip the scales that much.</p>
<p>Wow you can read my mind. People should chance for fun, not out of desperation and for reassurance.</p>
<p>Well, I personally promised myself that I would never post a chance thread, but honestly, a little reassurance would be nice. I go through major mood swings…one moment I’m pretty sure I’ll get in somewhere, a few days later, I feel completely pitiful and…average.</p>
<p>I totally understand you. I have those sometimes, then I realize that I’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Well, the end of my life (jk…not xD) and the beginning of public hi skl or prep skl will be determined in March, I guess. I hope everyone gets into at least one skl , tho. I hate the feeling of helplessness at having ur future laid out mercilessly at the admissions’ teams’ choice… >_< Does anyone else have doubts that they won’t get in anywhere? I go thru freaking out stages and chill confident stages.</p>
