<p>is so hard to get like a niche in. Like you are already forming a government and know each other, etc. It's WAY different than my usual forum.</p>
<p>I thought I was already way into CC but every time I come on here it's like WOAH. It's amazing how similar yet different PSA and HSL are! Like really, how many things do you guys post a day? </p>
<p>Any thoughts? :P</p>
<p>If make 100-odd posts a week for 6 months and you get to knew the people that do the same it sorta just happens.</p>
<p>I know what you mean. I’ve been a “regular” at some other forums, so it’s weird coming here and being a noob. Lol. It doesn’t really bother me though.</p>
<p>It’s strange. Like TheYankInLondon has like 233 posts and that’s like… a lot compared to most I see on here and they(he/she?) is in a high part of the ‘government’ here. </p>
<p>I feel like such a half noob on this forum lol</p>
<p>^ HSL posts to not go towards the post count. I spend most of my time here, so my post count is late.</p>
<p>Also I’m a “he”</p>
<p>Really? So is it like how on one of the cafes how those don’t count? Interesting.</p>
<p>Why HSL and not PSA? It seems like this would get top-billing as a more populated forum.</p>
<p>^ It’s not really on-topic and according to higher powers a high post count should indicate that someone has been posting about college stuff for a long time. Rather than feigning on-topic experience when one (like Warts for example) spends a lot of time in “wrod” (word association game)</p>
<p>They want post counts to actually represent the amount a person has contributed. A quick glance over some of the topics here will show that counting posts here would skew that somewhat :P. I’ve probably made many hundreds of posts here since I joined, but the only other forums I’ve posted in are the test-taking ones.</p>
<p>EDIT: what he said ^</p>
<p>o.O I’m confused. Why would that apply to HSL and not PSA? PSA doesn’t (or rather, it does but less so) talk about college a lot, and we have ridiculous posts all the time.</p>
<p>^ PSA?</p>
<p>Tsen Char</p>
<p>Prep School Admissions. lmao, we’re a bunch of nerds haha</p>
<p>^ Edit: CC didn’t censor it.</p>
<p>Also: what’s with the 'Edit’s ? ^ I mean that one didn’t even have anything before it!</p>
<p>^^^ Ah… Parents of 6th graders, rutting out over Phillips Exeter, sounds like something I would try to evolve at all costs.</p>
<p>Not 6th graders thank you! And that forum has actually devovled since around November-March to now. It used to be about idk… 15 of us who kept that forum into a golden age(im so self glorifying lol) This happens lik every year, w/ each round of applicants.</p>
<p>Now its a bunch of noobs, we used to have legit (actually um…zany?) convos, now its just a bunch of nnoying parents and us trying to get it back to its former glory.</p>
<p>^ We’ve had several threads abt how that is NOT the greatest school ever thanks! lol
There’ve been abt a bazillion threads/posts abt “fit” and the like.</p>
<p>^ No obviously British Boarding Schools kick American boarding school’s respective asses.</p>
<p>Not in terms of selectivity or academic rigor. BBS are more like NYC private schools.
PEA, and like say Taft, are more like Ivy league than them. IE- selectivity rates are going WAY down every year, academic rigor is similar(if not more rigorous)(Many people have said Harvard is nothing after Exeter.) Campus style, reputation, etc</p>
<p>^ You don’t understand BBS. The idea is to be brilliant and not do any studying or at least not appear to do any studying.</p>
<p>You can do that at many American BS’s too (not on the level of Exeter but hey).
That’s why I compared them to NYC Private Schools. Boarding schools here are usually different.(I’m speaking from a NE BS p.o.v, idk abt the rest of like, the midwest etc)</p>
<p>^ Meh, I have family (brother and two cousins) that go to Exeter and their top-level math is the only program that I think compares to Eton and Westminster.</p>
<p>(In case you haven’t noticed I go to a BBS and will defend them to the death as they are the best)</p>
<p>Also is PEA is similar to Harvard
BBS is similar to Oxford and Cambridge</p>
