<p>xxprepkidxx,</p>
<p>There are already many, many other threads on this website that address “What a boarding school is looking for?”. Numerous posters have answered your question directly with thoughtful, useful advice, but you are very persistent in bumping your same question over and over again. </p>
<p>I’m trying to understand your urgency to enroll this fall, rather that re-applying in next year’s admissions cycle. As you say you are full pay, then it is unlikely that your present school has a low academic standard that would be an urgent “push” factor.</p>
<p>I notice in another of your threads you write: “I have personal problems at my current school which has been a huge downfall in my grades.” So I think the question you ask “What a boarding school is looking for?” is not really the issue you want addressed. Other posters to your thread can “hear” that there is some other issue for you. I think what your really want is someone to outline a certain path to escape from your personal problems.</p>
<p>Is BS the only way to “escape” from your present problems? Is it possible to repair the problems you are facing in your present school? If not, is a private day school an option? What is the root cause of your personal problems, and will the problem follow you if you go to school elsewhere? Have you discussed your problems with your parents/teachers/school counselor?</p>
