<p>into peddie.Hmm, wasnt that sad when I found out, but now its sinking in.</p>
<p>ouch… you applied late though, if i’m not mistaken? just keep in mind you were too good to be rejected ;)</p>
<p>Hmm… preppie, Are you in at other schools or have a back up? Good luck with Peddie WL as thier yield is not as high as GLAD CHEMMS.</p>
<p>:-(</p>
<p>Some Ben & Jerry’s might be in order. This is the toughest year I’ve seen. A positive thought - so many people are applying to the same cluster of schools. They can only accept one spot. Hopefully, your dream will come true and a spot will open up for you after the dust settles on the 10th. Fingers crossed.</p>
<p>Thanks guys, I was accepted at The Hill with no f.a, and I think I will continue to remain on the waitlist and send them achievements/reportcards. Due to the economical state, of this nation and my family, I think perhaps prep school may not be the best option for me at the moment…</p>
<p>May be you can express strong interest in The Hill and talk to the adcoms/fin. aid officers and explain your family’s financial situation. It appears worth trying. Good luck.</p>
<p>hey preppy dont worry you will get in i am on a waitlist right now too and we need to stay positive i think we should make a thread called “waitlist chronicles” and talk about what life is on the waitlist till we get in!</p>
<p>I’m on the waitlist for lville! Don’t worry you’ll get off! And Peddie doesn’t have a super high yield so, there is a faily big chance of you getting in. Think optimistically :)</p>
<p>actually dont believe so. peddie had a 19-20 percent admit rate this year and expecting somewhat high yield. alot of my friends were rejected b.c schools knew they applied else where. I still think you have a shot of getting in. Although I am leaning towards deerfield, im also considering peddie. i have friends there who have turned down lawrenceville, choate, and even exeter. it is an amazing school. it is very overlooked on this forum, but peddie is an amazing school.</p>
<p>What jyun are you fo’real? Man i would never ever turn Lawerenceville down, if i could go to any school i would go there, but i am considered “tier 2” material. I just want to point this out Taft is not a tier 2 school its a tier one.</p>
<p>and p.s Jyun read my other thread if your not going to go to peddie please let them know so preppy can get off the waitlist dont be ignorant.</p>
<p>well i mite go. i still dont know. i want to visit the schools. ive already crossed off certain schools nd called them. I want discuss which, I’ve decided i needed to be more subtle on this thread. if anyone has questions about the admission process feel free to pm me.</p>
<p>Jyun are you still thinking about going to SPS? You have such a hard decision to make! If i were you i would have to choose between SPS or deerfield but there all great school, it all depends on what you want and what your looking for i guess.</p>
<p>“alot of my friends were rejected b.c schools knew they applied else where”</p>
<p>wow that’s harsh 
of course everyone applied else where. I didn’t apply to Peddie but I had kind of similar situation. I got accepted to a school xyz, they called me to ask some info about financial aid and “did you get in any other school? how much $ do they give you?”</p>
<p>I said yes blah blah. And then xyz told me “since they gave you $, we guess you’ll pick that one. We won’t give you any finaid”</p>
<p>I was like &<em>%</em>^% but now I don’t care any more lol</p>
<p>I applied to like 12 schools…</p>
<p>don’t assume you will get off the waitlist like Jyun said. Prepare for no acceptances / no acceptances with FA.</p>
<p>im not assuming i just know because i got a couple of “hooks” down my sleeve</p>
