Guys Miss Porter’s School gives such great swag (and it’s pre-M10???) and honestly I think they might be really up there on my favorite schools list. Like the TIE program, the community, the campus, just everything is so awesome. And I had so much fun at their events.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh and they have such cool (but some very secretive?) traditions like the old girl/new girl thing, the graduation rings (which I think isn’t only Porter’s but it’s still so cool). And I still love the TIE program so much I think it really aligns to what I’m interested in. Plus the variety in A.I.S classes oh my god.
and I was with this tour guide and they seemed so down to earth and real but super funny and yeah, I really liked the vibe.
Hi guys! Joining this thread a little late in the game with applications due soon. I feel like my applications are complete but I am so nervous to submit them ahhhh.
6 Days left! How is everyone?
I’m half excited and half scared, just realized my essays aren’t very well written and are trying my best to rewrite them hope it comes out good
I have mixed feelings for M10. On one hand I’m really excited-ish, calm-ish “I’m going to get in and everything will be okay, even if I don’t get in it’s a learning experience and I can always reapply next year” but on the other hand my heart rate probably peaked at 140 three times because “oh my god I’m not going to get in cause I suck why did I think I have a chance everyone else is so much more qualified and has better everything ahhhhh” lol =P
@pearlescentrose It’s a super exciting time! Did you end up adding any schools to your list? Tip for your essays: read them aloud and that can help you find the problems. (extra points for reading to yourself in a mirror). You got this!
Sadly, I didn’t end up adding anything to my list. If I do take part in the next application season, I will definitely add Hill and other more higher acceptance rates to my school list =)
Okay this probably only applies to me with my bad SSAT Scores but oh well:
Scores are NOT everything! I was assured by many AOs from top schools that it is just a number. All of them also said scaled scores are more telling than a percentile. Also verbal is the least important part apparently. In the eyes of most if not all AOs, the SSAT is NOT a deciding factor and will NOT keep you out of a school.
Also I have faith in all of you!!! Best of luck to all of CC, and hoping for M10 acceptances!
and this is our last week of the semester so teachers are piling on a lot of homework and tests as well. I’m just going to sit down and try to finish it all in a few hours today.
hope it comes out good
