[quote=Anonymous]We are applying to 9th and I did not find the process stressful. We are coming from public. I had friends pulling their hair out and stressing like mad and warning me last year it would be crazy. Granted, we applied only to a few schools. He shadowed only at his top 2. But, after he wrote the essays there wasn't much to do. Maybe it is harder coming from private because you are surrounded by 'your competition' and everyone is talking about it. It's a small number of kids applying to private from our MS and, even then, many are not applying to the same schools. In that case, being secure in a K-12 might be better for sanity because at least you know you are guaranteed a place to go. I could see being in that environment and feeding off of others could be mad during application time. Also, all of those teachers in K-8 are writing countless recommendations since all of the students are applying. [/quote]
