<p>1.There is no such thing as an ivy prep school. Do your research before asking questions!
2.Cheating is common at most public schools, and what other people at your school do does not effect you.
3.Getting into prep schools for senior year is EXTREMELY unlikely. Especially the top tier schools.
4.Spending one year at a prep school wont really help you college application, when you are applying, you would have only spent a couple months at the school and would still be adjusting.
5. If you do need FA, you have almost no chance.</p>
<p>I learned all this from common sense and prep school research. You should have looked online at the schools websites! If you are completely serious about applying, the just about only thing for you to do is apply as a repeat junior.</p>
