<p>i don't think i am the only one who wants to know, but what happens after you get accepted? anyone know the processes, like picking dorms or revisit or classes</p>
<p>You die from the intense overload of endorphins.</p>
<p>You go to the school in 6 months</p>
<p>hahahaha i was thinking along the lines of “dying and going to heaven”</p>
<p>Each of the boarding schools will have a revisit day before April 10. Some of the larger schools will have a couple of different days to choose from. There will be some kind of program, another tour, meeting students, maybe going to class. On April 10 you must notify the school that you will be matriculating and there will be a down payment required. After that, over the next few months, there will be a slew of forms to fill out, there may be a math placement test, etc. You will get some choices on courses. There will be a form to help the school choose room mates.
Good luck to you all.</p>
<p>You decide April 10th. You go to revisit days during early April, I think 4th and 7th.</p>
<p>You go to revisit day. When you are there you are made to feel very welcome and special. You remind yourself why you were excited to go that school. You then start figuring out what and how to tell your friends, extended family and teachers. You start fielding questions like:
“You HAVE to go to boarding school? What did you do?”
“You have to wear a uniform? Ewww.”
“Aren’t you going to miss your family, friends, school, fish, dog, etc?”</p>
<p>Meanwhile your parents will get even more obnoxious questions like:</p>
<p>“How could you send your child away? I could NEVER do that. It would feel like I am abandoning them.”
“Wow - was your child screwing up? It must have been really bad.”
“What’s wrong with her school now?”
“X’s daughter went to boarding school and got pregnant/became a junky/alcoholic/joined a cult/aren’t you worried?”</p>
<p>You begin to alienate yourself from society so leaving your friends doesn’t feel like that much of a bad thing, do massive amounts of research on the school you’re going to, and begin to learn how to dress by the dress code of whatever school you decided to go to…</p>
<p>Or you can just spend the rest of your school year cherishing what you have. Whichever one seems more practical.</p>
<p>You stop posting hysterical countdown to March 10th threads and start posting hysterical Ultimate supply list threads. :)</p>
<p>Aaah, that supply list is mine!
My countdown thread was such a “success” (full of off-topic randomness) that the supply list will be just as “awesome” (full of off-topic randomness).</p>
<p>You fell like you just got 999,999,999,999 pounds taken off your chest.</p>
<p>and you die of boredom!</p>
<p>A few posts ago, it was indicated Apr 4th and 7th are revisit days this year? How do you know for sure?</p>
<p>4th and 7th are the revisit days for Middlesex, and if I’m not mistaken, Groton.</p>
<p>you die happily.</p>
<p>It’s amazing! I remember the moment I found out that I was accepted. It was amazing. I called all my friends and I flipped out. The first thing you do is send back the paperwork, then you go to revisit day. You pick out your classes in the summer.</p>
<p>what school did you get accepted to? was it your first choice?</p>
<p>You sent your paperwork in first? I have a first choice but that may change. You didn’t care to go look at the schools again first?</p>
<p>I got accepted to Peddie and yes, it was my first choice. I love it here! The academics, boarding life, everything are amazing!</p>
<p>I didn’t really have to look at the other schools, becasue I was waitlisted at my second choice and got into my third choice. I went to both of the revisit days, just to make sure, but I knew that I wanted to go to Peddie ever since I went to the Open House.</p>
<p>Good for you AGS!</p>
<p>Did you receive your acceptance online or through the mail? Which way would you recommend?</p>
