<p>Sorry to dig up an old thread - I’m going through pages of CC threads after a couple months off this website - but I don’t believe boarding schools have a ‘quota’ on Asians. Only colleges do legitimate quotas (that they actually strictly keep to and report on), so while boarding schools might want to increase diversity, therefore giving Asian Americans (sadly, I am one too) a smaller chance, but no specific quota.</p>
<p>As for the OP’s question, I would say either option could work for you. There is no harm in reapplying next year - it’s actually great practice writing these BS apps for your upcoming college applications. That being said, if you are a top student at your current school, maybe that position would aid you more in college admissions. :)</p>
