Picture Yourself at Greystone

As the Director of Greystone, my responsibilities include the determination of which applicants are the right fit for Greystone and which are not. Before we discuss the details of your application, I want you to spend a moment going over the self-analysis below. It will help you determine what is important to you and where your priorities are. If your score reflects that you are Greystone material or are leaning toward Greystone, call me to talk about your application. If your score indicates that Greystone is not right for you, that's OK too - I would enjoy the opportunity to talk about your academic plans. Every academy-bound student is important to me - whether or not you attend Greystone. So come on, see if you can “picture yourself” at Greystone!

Your biggest “life” decision thus far was your decision to pursue an appointment to the academy. Although that plan did not turn out as you originally had hoped - never give up your dreams! The question now is whether you are still committed to this pursuit. If so, you must decide what to do and where to go in order to maximize your opportunities and your options as you reapply to the academy.

What will you base this decision on?

Choosing the right prep school requires facts, not historical hype or inflated records of accomplishment. At Greystone, we are not interested in trying to dazzle you with fluff - we are interested in providing you with the best possible academy prep program to meet your needs.
