Hey guys,

Let’s get right to it, I am in 8th grade and I just finished my looooooooonnnnnnnggggggg process of finding a high school to go to. I absolutely hated it!!! I don’t think I know a single person who likes the process of applying to a new school. There is so much you have to do and it’s exhausting. Here are all the steps that come with applying to a new private school…

1. Choose the schools to apply to
2. Apply to the schools
3. Take the SSAT test (WHICH IS 3 AND A HALF HOURS)
4. Attend the Open Houses
5. Take the test for the schools
6. Get interviewed
7. Send in your latest grades
8. Wait until you get replies
9. Choose a school you got into (If you had options)
10. Do everything required to get into the school (take TB test, send in report cards, note saying you graduated the previous grade, etc)
11. Spend a day with your graduating class at that chosen school

It doesn’t seem like much, but this whole process takes about a year and maybe more… You have no idea how terrifying the entire process is. BUT, in the end when you get your results, it is a BIG relief because it’s all over. Yes the process is stressful but it’s worth it in the end because you get to go to a good school  and get a good education.

TIPS

1. STUDY for the tests
2. Always be on your best behavior because they are always examining you from the moment they see you
3. Be friendly
4. Don’t show your scared
5. BREATH
6. Do good in school to impress them
7. Have patience because the tests and interviews can be long
8. Make sure to answer the interviewers with clear and understandable answers
