Reply To: Why should I go to sem?

Torah: Funny thing- my sis says that, and she’s in ninth grade and the only reason why she knows it exists is because I said so. And I didn’t even say anything about it… I’d swear she just pulls this stuff from a hat.

Does it have a dress code? Just OOC… 🙂 What kind of rules and stuff does it have in general?

One thing with me is that I know so many girls who are going there who are such different types that I’m never sure which type is “representative” or whatever, like, I don’t know how many, if any, people will be going there who I’d get along with.

It’s funny- you know how there’s always one neighbor, or cousin, or friend’s friend’s daughter and your mom is always convinced that you are EXACTLY her type and thus you should do whatever she did? Well that girl went to Machon Raaya, so now my mom’s convinced it’s THE ONE. Maybe.

All my friends say I’m a Michlalah “type.” Then again, a bunch of my friends are probably going to Michlalah, so maybe I’ll just hop on the bandwagon with them.

Also, what makes you NOT get accepted to sem? My Hebrew subject grades aren’t always so fantastic, if only because I haven’t exactly meshed with certain teachers for reasons I have alluded to, so would that put me at a lower risk of being accepted? I know Michlalah also has an exam besides for the interview so I’m assuming my grades will be somewhat diluted as a factor- also, Michlalah and my school, without going into too many details, have a very buddy-buddy relationship.
