School 1 or School 2?
School 1 pros:
Governor’s School (looks better on college app)
I don’t have to take gym….I will take ballet
School starts later
I get to learn how to sing, dance, and act there. (If I stay for all 4 years)
Everyone there gets along basically and there are no regular students…everyone that goes to school # 1 is an art student
It’s harder to get accepted into School #1
School 1 cons:
No music training until sophomore year (I have vocal lessons so I don’t have to worry too much but I will miss having chorus for a year)
None of my friends are going there!
It’s further than school #2
Haven’t seen any cute guys there (if that matters)
School 2 pros:
Some of my friends are going there!
There are some really cute guys (if that matters)
I get to take music theory and singing classes freshman through senior year and I will get to sing all the time
It’s closer to home
School 2 CONS:
If I want to take theatre classes I will have to take gym in the summer or online
No dance classes….I will have to get my own private dance classes.
Its easier to get accepted into
More drama there…School #2 is more like an average high school mixed in with arts students
Aim high! Go for the school that is harder to get into and looks better on College Apps!
Plus, it offers everything that you want regardless of when the classes are available for you to take you still get to take them.
It seems like you are a little nervous to leave your friends behind, but trust me you will make new friends fast!
And, if it’s any consolation Middle School is a magical place where you meet some of the people you will be friends with for the rest of your life! My best friend and I met when we were in the 7th grade, even though we went to the same high school there were days when we didn’t see each other at all because of our schedules and what not. We made time to hang out at least once a week, just like we do now. She lives far away from me but we make it a point to call each other at least once a week. Next year it will be 15 years that we have been friends.
Good Luck!
