<p>D’yer – “they will probably be inclined to write you some terrific recommendations so that you won’t be around for another year”</p>
<p>more likely they will write so-so recs and not grant you enough FA to attend their school the following year. this is exactly what is now happening to two students I know that tried to switch from private to BS during 9th grade.</p>
<p>artsmart – you are just guessing. think it from an adult’s perspective and a business perspective. Why admit a kid and grant FA, only to have that kid turn around and apply elsewhere (even after two years – which in this case would mean that the OP would apply for 12th grade). School’s are looking for student’s that honor their commitments, persist through difficulties and make the best of opportunities given.</p>
