<p>Hey guys, I know you're all thinking "not another chancing post". Sorry!! I'm just really really nervous about getting into the schools I'm applying for, because I hate mine. I'm applying to Exeter, Lawrenceville, and Andover for 11th grade. I would really appreciate it!</p>

<p>Here are some stats:</p>

<p>98% in SSAT
4.0 GPA throughout middle and high school
Valedictorian in 9th grade
I have played piano for 9 years, and have gotten awards at annual competitions for theory and solo performances
Tenor sax for 5 years
I have gone to CTY courses the past 2 summers in IR and economics
CTY High honors
Attorney in Mock Trial
I do Math Olympiad and am fairly good
I lead and started a 20+ member literary club at my school
I play varsity wresting, tennis, and cross country. I have played tennis for 10 years.
Invited by the governor to spend a day with him, because of my interest in politics and my grades.&lt;/p>

<p>I am very interested in economics and global affairs. I am an avid reader of the economist, NYT, and WSJ. I am currently teaching myself investing, and manage an investment account with my dad. I plan on joining the mock investment groups. Also, I am one of the heads of the young republicans club.
My history teacher wrote that I am one of the best students he's ever taught in his 40 years of teaching.</p>

<p>Oh, and I also interviewed at all places. At andover and exeter, they said I was one of the best interviewees they have ever had, and we had such long conversations that we exceeded the time limit by 20 minutes each time! They said that I would fit perfectly and would be surprised if I didn't get in. I'm not sure if that really matters though! Many applicants must get that.</p>

<p>Also, I take 2 languages in school, and self-taught myself a French level last summer. I also know Hebrew. My courses are: Accelerated Precalculus, accelerated chemistry, french 3, spanish 3, english, world history 2. My school doesn't offer APs or honors, but is the best school in my state.</p>

<p>I know chancing doesn't mean much, but I'm just incredibly nervous so I kind of have to do this hahaha. Thanks so much! </p>

<p>Honestly you sound like an incredible applicant. I don’t think you have anything to worry about, but you never know (admissions are tough to predict!). I think all these schools would be lucky to have you. Even if you don’t get into all of them, I think you can assume you’ll be accepted to at least one.</p>
