<p>It has always been my fantasy to go to a prep school like Choate or Andover, etc. Am I alone on this one? Are there others who want to go to prep schools, but do not? I tell this to my friends and they say I am crazy.</p>
<p>I wanted to go to Deerfield or Exeter but I really like the crew and golf program where I live so I just got to a private day school</p>
<p>I’m applying to a few top notch boarding schools for fall of 2012. I’ll be an upper/11th grader.</p>
<p>Is it really worth applying half way through high school?</p>
<p>I wanted to, but I’d have hated living away from home.</p>
<p>Oh, I like living away from home so that would not be a problem for me.</p>
<p>I’m applying to a good number of prep schools for 10th grade. There is actually a sub-section on this forum exclusively devoted to prep schools:[Prep</a> School Admissions - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-admissions/]Prep”>Prep School Admissions - College Confidential Forums)</p>
<p>And, yes it is worth applying halfway through high school. Some schools do accept 11th graders at prep schools, and there have been plenty of people on the prep school admission section who were new 11th graders.</p>
<p>PM me if you have any questions about prep schools.</p>
