<p>I know there are a significant amount of students here applying for junior year. tell me, if you don't get in will you stay in your high school or reapply the following year to repeat junior year?</p>
<p>Just want to hear what you guys think.</p>
<p>The question for me was whether or not to repeat SOPHOMORE year, to up my chances for approval... however, we decided repeating wasn't the answer. No, I will not apply again next year if I am denied entrance.</p>
<p>This whole application process has been a huge learning experience for me, and my family as well. I took the initiative when it came to Boarding School, and because of it, my parents and I have gotten closer then ever. We've all learned a lot about one another these past few months, and I feel like doing it again would almost ruin this experience...</p>
<p>I don't know. These schools are all amazing, and I'm VERY dissatisfied at my school, but I think once I've spent three year at my current school, it'd almost be a disservice to myself, my parents, and everybody at my school to leave to go do it again.</p>
<p>dude i guess people don't want to answer here because their afraid lulz.</p>
<p>if i don't get in, i'm just going to go to the best private school in my state (a day school)...
i applied for private schools because i never felt challenged at my school...</p>
<p>If I don't get into any, I'll just say it stinks and call it a learning experience. I'll just stay at my public school district, which is actually really good for public schools, but seems so flawed after visiting boarding schools. But I could deal with it. Probably would not try again next year. sighhhhhh</p>
<p>I know right, I go to one of the best private day schools or atleast unique in the east coast. But it looks like crap compared to the boarding schools, to bland. Not huge enough lol</p>
<p>If I don't get in, I'll go to my public high school, one of the best in the country. And suntan on the beach after school. :D Personally, if not for the academic/social experience of boarding school, it would totally not be worth it to go all the way over to the East Coast.</p>
<p>If I don't get in I've got the school I'm in now, and that's alright with me (: It's not a bad school at all.</p>
<p>If I don't get in, I will be disappointed, but that's life. you win some, you lose some, so I'll stay at my old school and finish my high school term normally</p>
<p>If I don't get in, I'll stay at my regular public high school. It's a great school, (everyone is like "why are you applying to private school? the public schools here are great!") but I still think it is no where near Exeter in comparison. The teaching style, teachers, whole feel of the school are completely different. So, yeah, I would stay at my public high school, which would not be what I wanted, but it's still a great education and I can at least be thankful for that.</p>
<p>My Son is fine if he doesn't get in, but I would be in mourning for a while. I'd only seen one other boarding school in my life before we started this process. Now that I have been enlightended I won't be able to go back -- I'll really feel like I let me son down for not being informed earlier and not preparing him for the whole app process. On the flip side, if he does get in he really has done it all on his own with ec's before he knew he needed ec's, writing more essays then he ever imagined could be written and calm confidence taking the SSAT.</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you!</p>
<p>If I get totally rejected, then I'll be EXTREMELY sad for the next few months (or years), but I'd stay at my public high school. Or maybe the local day school. But I'd probably be dissapointed for the rest of my life, and end up... Ok, but seriously, before I even factor in all the EC's, the quality of life, the teaching, the sports, the "boarding" aspect alone of all the schools I'm applying to ABSOLUTELY trumps everything the schools near me have to offer. And Exeter is just too amazing, and it's the greatest place on Earth (imo)</p>
<p>Although I agree about boarding school being awesome, how could you know it's the best place on earth? You've only had a 45 minute tour, and can only know so much. I think it's to early to turn boarding school into a Utopia before we even spend the night there.</p>
<p>haha, I know it's too early. And I never said the best place on Earth had to be a utopia. Well, as of right now, it looks better than any other place I've been to. And even if it doesn't turn out as well as I hope, I'll make the best out of it. Right now, with my rebelious teenage moodiness coming up, home isn't looking like the greatest place right now.</p>
