You asked for it so here it is: a blog where Hedvah girls can post where they are applying to seminary. So which would it be? BYA, BJJ or Bnos Chava? Meor or Mesilos? How about Michala or Darchei Bina? The list goes on...

chedvah gal said...

The only thing that is for sure so far is Meor. Also I'll try to change it that anyone can post this is very annoying.

Okay, is this better now?

Anonymous said...

Anonymous said...

sari, i thot u wanted to go to michlala- what happened to that?

Anonymous said...

shana- do u want some place academic or not? does ur school have teachers that advise u? we do and its really helpfull since i was totally clueless! miss ya!

Anonymous said...

Well I have done the seminary experiance and know a lot about them all i think...so if you have any quesitons on specific ones i would be more than glad to answer them

Anonymous said...

Everyone, esspecially on this blog can you post your names? Please?

Anonymous said...

Well it is still a possibility but I doubt I will apply. My school is very against it so I don't know if it's worth it.

Anonymous said...

yeah my school has ppl 2 advise u but u have to run after them and they dont start until after succos. and im glad that you miss me but who are you?!

Anonymous said...

i miss you shana... and e/o else too! and by the by... who are you "miss anonymous mentor"? and what pearls of wisdom do you have to offer? but we have to be careful not to say a/t bad abt any sems.

Anonymous said...

to sari: smart move on ur part... my skool is not against it at all and the 'sem. lady' for some odd reason thot that i wanted to apply there... there was a rumor that i was, the entire morning in skool, it was kinda funny... and then i spoke to her and she decided that i need a 'bais yaakov michlala'- watev. miss ya!
ahhhh........ this blog is so cute!

Anonymous said...

so... anonymous mentor: how many years outa sem are you? did you just come back? are you a hedvah girl?
????????????????????

Anonymous said...

umm hello? does anyone know the meaning of anonymous? onviously the person does not wish to reveal her identity so you might as well stop pestering her about it.

it seems like evryone is applying to all the big names and popular sems! is anyone at all even thinking of one of the smaller sems like seminar or shoshanim?

Anonymous said...

Is it just me or did anyone else notice that since we started SeminaryGirls ChedvaNews has been totally sleeping? No one has posted there in over a week! the conclusion? We dominate the blog- and the camp.

Anonymous said...

Chochmas Lev is not one of the popular sems.

Anonymous said...

chochmas lev is a new semianry so it hasnt hit it yet...i mean all these types of seminarys are necissary..def. regardless because girls will end up going if they have to or want to

Anonymous said...

I was just saying that Chochmas Lev is not a popular sem because you posted a comment how "it seems like evryone is applying to all the big names and popular sems" and someone had mentioned how they wanted to apply there.

Anonymous said...

well can am tell us a little bit about the smaller schools such as seminar and shoshanim? i mean there are tons of schools that havent been discussed including pninim bnos sarah and others (hadar to but i dont tink a/os applying there)

Aaron said...

Ok well chedvah gal should make them a seperate post names i can..I am just answering whatver is given to me...but it is true i can discuss thoes "smaller" seminarys too.

chedvah gal said...

yup... jc's ( and sa's) rule the camp... chedvah news is sleeping for good!( well for now anyway until this sem. ish is over for us!

Anonymous said...

can e/o also please write by each post around how many girls they know from thier school are applying to that sem? that way we can have a rough idea of our competition - also if we see that a lot of girls are applying from one school it may say somthing about tht particular sem.

chedvah gal said...

great idea! but i think they try to accept girls from ea. skool by the ratio of how many apply... so ur really only in competition w/ the girls from ur skool.

Anonymous said...

bnos chava, bya, mesilos, meohr (3 of those im not sure yet. or maybe all?)
sorry im so late-i wasnt sure yet

Anonymous said...

Sorry Leba but if you dont want to hear us talking about sem all the time then maybe you shouldnt go on SeminaryGirls :) but think of it this way- come next yr you'll know where to turn!

Anonymous said...

dont worry im sure we'll have plenty of israel reunions and you can jion when youre on vacation. many of us who have never gone to school togther will probably end up in sem tog spending the yr tog - just an intersting thought... i mean lately e/o whos posting is saying that they want to go where i do lets just see if we all get in (imy"h!)..

Anonymous said...

i think that each school has a certin amount of spots in each sem.

Anonymous said...

well so far i think 7 girls are applying to my school for mesilos and 8 to meohr a ton to bjj bya and bc and like 3 to cl 1 to pninim and a handful to seminar and shoshanim. its crazy how competitive it is - its all ppl talk about!

Anonymous said...

BJJ, Hadar, Seminar...thats my order of preference!!

Anonymous said...

Not really relevent but does anyone know how to fix the timestamp? Because it is majorly messed up. For instance it is 2:44 right now.

Anonymous said...

yeh, seriously dina... ur joking rite? no offense but thats really not ur type!
and yeah sari u should try to fix the time issue.

Anonymous said...

and also.... can u org. a maj. reunion for all of us like over the weekend so outa towners can come? thanx.

Anonymous said...

Hee hee. i was the one who asked for someone to change the timestamp in the first place ( I was too lazy to figure it out myself).

Okay i fixed it- but only i can call myself lazy! :)

What school are you (the person who said the #s from her school.)
mhs has like 20 something to bnos chava 20 something to michlala like 10 to bjj about 10 to 15 to mesilos and meohr (maybe a little more) a like 10 to bnos sara and bya.
and of course dina is joking!

Anonymous said...

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh im so jealous of all of you!!! i want to go back now! can i just add how funny the whole seminary thing is? everyone has the dream sem that they would like to be accepted to- well everyone should have their ideas by now- but anyway life isnt so fair and you dont get accepted to the sem of your choice. can i tell you guys something? its really really for the best. you definatly wont see it rite away but at the end of seminary you realise that your rejection letter was actually from Hashem. let me explain. first of all your eyes get open and you realise that either you would not have survived the types of girls, or the hard work in the sem of your dreams. i only no of one girl my age who really regretted her year in seminary because it wasnt the best sem. second of all i have two great true first hand shiduch stories: 1- a girl wasnt accepted to any by sem- only db- wich really wasnt her type. her roommate was her shadchan. end of story. you see yad Hashem rite away. 2- a girl didnt get accepted to any sem. she was ultimate by and only a really not that type of sem accepted her in the end. she is currently engaged to her friend from sems bro- this friend red it. these stories would not have happened if those girls were accepted at their choice sem. basically after your first reaction of dissapointment remember that everything happens as a result of siata d'shmaya. i really hope that you all get accepted to the sem thats the best for you! im so nervous for you all!

Anonymous said...

Anonymous said...

why does that make you an oxymoron? is mby machon bnos yehudah w/c is bya and similiar to bjj and tons of ppl apply to both????

chedvah gal said...

i thot mby was mesilos bais yaakov ( they're official title!)... what, now im confused??!?!?!?

Anonymous said...

mby is mesilos bais yaakov

Anonymous said...

so that person hu posted b4 just had no clue what she was talking abt rite? k. so back to my point... that poem thingy was really 'interesting'... to put it euphamistically ( if that's a word..sari?)

Anonymous said...

im starting a new post for e/o to post where they're going and no discussing allowed under there... it will make it easier to find who's applying where... ill re-post e/o hu posted here under the new one.

chedvah gal said...

y r so few hedvah gals posting??? hello, tell e/o to post... im really curious to see where e/o is applying to!!!!!!!!

Aaron said...

remember when you are posting where you are applying dont think oh cuz she is applying there lets go there too..do what is best for you ..not because your friend is going there or you want to be in seminary together because soemtimes what is good for your friend may not be good for you in different levals

Anonymous said...

true but whos applying also says a lot about the sem and the type of girls going that year. the teachers and classes are only one part of what gives a sem its reputation - the girls make or break it.

Anonymous said...

i think that it's a mixture of both the school and the girls and it is impossible to say which is more important.

Aaron said...

Right of course it is..but at the end of the day..the type of girls that apply to each seminary usually are for that type..majority of the girls...i am saying amongst friends specificly too..don't look out to go with ur close friends

y not?

chedvah gal said...

and if ur not our age...we'll notice...wont we?

Anonymous said...

not neccessarily.
depends where it is.
if it's in a restaurant, i may just be passing by.
or choose to go there m'self.
if it's in one of your houses, then i probably couldn't get away with it.
though i may have an idea or two...

Anonymous said...

Even if it was in a resturant we would keep our eyes peeled for you. And even if there are more than one Hedvah girl there that night at least we could narrow it down.

Anonymous said...

i think the minute i show up, it'll all click into place, and you're all gonna say "i can't believe we were so dense and didn't think of her!"

Anonymous said...

Im sure it cant be THAT obvious or else SOMEONE would have thought of it.

sometimes you don't think of the most obvious things...
