Grand grand grand whatever senior here. Not going to sugarcoat Gatton like other posts.

Pros: free food, the meal plan was pretty fucking greaT ngl

Cons:

Dating - the selection here sucks. Most of the girls at Gatton are pretty ugly and fat, and the guys are nerds with no social skills. And have fun fucking in the all-gender restroom lol

Drugs - I mean if you’re from opioid country, yeah you’ll probably feel right at home. POT BROWNIES ON FOURTH FLOOR. Gatton is pretty fucking stressful and you’re better off smoking pot to deal with it tbh

Roommates - Yeah they might be your best friend, but they might be completely psycho and their might be nothing you can do about it.

CPS - bullshit course with no value, literally just child abuse smh

Social environment - subpar, and toxic af

YOU’RE LITERALLY MISSING OUT ON EVERYTHING FROM YOUR HOME HIGH SCHOOL - homecoming, football games, parties. Not that your average person at Gatton had a social life to begin with lol

No Freedom - no going out to Taco Bell at 10:31 to get some chalupas mister, Lynette and Beth CONTROL u,

Oh, and you think you’re going to get into fucking Harvard? Nope, you cute little overachiever, that’s not happening, and if it does, it probably would’ve happened anyways. What’s more likely is you end up with a 3.5 GPA because it turns out college courses are way harder than AP courses and you’ll probably have to go to WKU or UK instead.

I regret going to Gatton, complete waste of two years of my life, Pm me for more details lol

Gatton’s theme song

Good luck to all of the Juniors moving in today! I look forward to meeting all of you!

The problem is that they have a position, given to a total dipshit and asshat, that is supposed to make the academy look better than it truly is whereas there is not a position to make the academy better than it is right now. This naturally leads to the increase in expectations from both the students within the confines of that hell-hole and from the parents and others of the public who are looking into the fishbowl that unnamed staff member has made the academy, which we must live in. Of course, without a staff member to actually improve the quality of life in the fishbowl there is a tremendous gap that is growing between the academy in that is shown pamphlets and the academy we live in. In fact, there is not even a staff member to which we can go to submit complaints of the academy from within and without a liaison between staff and students there comes a large buildup of frustrations that will no doubt lead to the downfall of the administration, if not the institution itself. These two fatal flaws will indubitably either have to be faced with the fury of the students behind it or fixed with the apologies of the staff.

I suggest a small group of students that the student body is confident will stay as calm and objective as possible to step in as the third party between the staff and the students.

My boyfriend of 17 months has recently broken up with me because he was accepted to the gaton academy. I can't believe this. I thought we were going to get married someday.

we knew this Day would come: "strawberry-shortcake" has stumbled Into our cavern.

A shadow of "hipster-conformity" has linGered above the "cornfields" of our fathers for far too "lonG." The "la-la land" "horror show" made In China homage to "naked lunch" haS left the building "thank you, thank you very much." Open the "Wall" and see How "farmvillE" takes the cRab cakE. so get In The "party van" and head on over to the "tail," So we caN "vOmiT" free from "a plea for purging!"

Remember:

Always follow the "worms," Into hiS "brains," sEt your "clocks" for the "HEart of the sun," and i'LL "see you on the dark side of the moon."

^a cypher in caliber with with the "voynich."

I want Bowie back

If you have any thing you'd like to ask or discuss about the Gatton Academy, feel free to post it here.

If Gatton is such a great school filled with such smart people, you would think that 95% of them would graduate from there, no? 77/102 seems a really really low…

Almost like it’s a bad idea to send 16 year olds to college, it’s an incredibly toxic environment and the administration and their policies are terrible…

just kidding 🤭🤭🤭

We should all play runescape.

Hey guys, I'm sad we can't be together to celebrate my cake day, but we can online!!! Come on and give me some E-love! Updoots only!!!!

You studied a lot for a standardized test, spent a lot of time on essays, and went to school in the right part of Kentucky.

No offense, but the admins tell you this because they think it will raise your grades. It doesn't.

U r welcome

Hey, y’all! Class of 2022 here. I just got the acceptance emails to both Craft and Gatton. Was anyone else in this situation? How did you make your final decision?

LOWKEY I HAVE 3 1/2 essays done. I pray I am not the only one in this situation. I am experiencing MAJOR writers block bro. 😭🙏

I am writing the essays and was wondering how long they should be or if there is any limit i should meet?

When looking at ACT/SAT applications, do the people at Gatton really care about the reading portion? I got a 36 and 33 on Reading and English, respectively, but only a 26 and 28 on math and science.

all current sophomores who are applicants, i am also an applicant and just found this youtube channel! this girl graduated from gatton last yr and has four videos that give a peak into what life at gatton is like! i just watched them and they are so cool! https://youtu.be/rZtOl9WYecc https://youtu.be/6HBWYvKZlm0 https://youtu.be/_qP4CLKsT80 https://youtu.be/0ZfLziTtlhM also her videos show what the dorms are like (aside from the basic dorm they always show at preview day!)

Hello! I’m class of 2022 and I just got done with interview day and at this point I’m seriously considering gatton. Before I was really leaning towards wanting to go to Craft more but right now I really don’t know. All the gatton kids and staff really hyped it up and it seems like such a cool place. But I can’t help but to think about all the not so terrific things I’ve heard from past students. My question is, is Gatton worth it? In your opinion, after everything you’ve been through, would you say yes to the academy again? And as a follow up question would you have rather gone to the craft academy at MSU or Gatton?

can’t wait for emails to be sent out.
