<p>I am applying to six schools for the ninth grade:
Concord Academy, BB&N, Nobles and Greenough, Milton Academy, Phillips Andover Academy, and Phillips Exeter Academy.
I'm really just asking about Andover, Exeter and Milton. </p>

<p>I go to a private school in MA, about 7 students have gone to andover in the past four years, 6 to exeter, 23 to milton ( the class size isn't large)
also, from 1994-1998 college that the largest number of students from my school went to was Harvard (15), I don't know if that is relevant.
7th grade grades:
English/ History A-, A, A, Overall A
French Overall A+
Math Overall A (she doesn't give A+, my average was 98)
Science Overall A+</p>

<p>Eighth grade (first trimester):
English/History: A
Science: A (she doesn't give A+, my average was about an A+)
French: A
Honors Algebra: A (she doesn't give A+, my average was about an A+)</p>

I am sending in a CD
I'm in a advanced audition-only orchestra (violin)
this summer i attended an audition-only violin camp
I have been in my school's chorus for 3 years, and we preform at senior centers

This trimester I am in the school play (small part) and last trimester i was in pottery
I am part of a Christian Girls Youth Group
I have also taken one year of hip hop, one year of ballet, and one year of afro-jazz dance
In the afro-jazz group we preformed at a national ethnicity awareness conference, and then at a festival in Harvard Square
I got a 99th (99 math, 97 vocab, 96 reading comp.) percentile on the ssat
My ssat essay wasn't the best( i could only think of one example, and it was from personal experience) but i stayed on topic.
My interview went well
I have good recommendations from my math, english, and violin teachers( for milton also from my science teacher)
I spent 4 months voluntarily taking care of a child when her mother had hip surgery in sixth grade
I volunteer at this Halloween Town thing every october

also, if your school has several kids going to those top tier schools, you probably have an even bigger chance...</p>

<p>hopefullyhappy - </p>

<p>You already posted your stats like 3 different times. Posting your stats on another persons chance thread is also just rude. Please try not to do so again.</p>

<p>OP - </p>

<p>Stats are great. I suppose you lack a bit in the athletics department, since it seems like a lot of 1-2 year sport EC's, but that's understandable since most kids don't actually find an interest in anything until high school.</p>

7

<p>My thoughts were along the lines of post #2.</p>

8

<p>like askjeeves said, you should've just made your own post.
that's just plain rude.</p>

9

<p>Sorry I didn't know the protocol as you can see I just joined yesterday.</p>

10

<p>Exactly what starz27 said</p>

11

<p>dang pinkleena, you make the rest of us look bad! lol, good luck hope you get in</p>

12

<p>Yeah, you people are amazing.</p>

<p>This makes me feel really icky and fail-at-life D:</p>

<p>If you don't have a chance girl, I don't know WHO does.</p>

<p>Good luckk!</p>

13

<p>thanks you guys!</p>

14

<p>Very good chance (come on... 99th percentile)</p>

15

<p>Lol 99th means near to nothing. Im not sure you know what ur talking about.</p>

16

<p>Sorry to intrude, but how do you create a post?</p>

17

<p>yeh, does anyone know if music helps that much. im worried, because i have the same set up as her, (96th percentile and all that jazz) but i dont take any special art classes and i am horrible with music... instead i'm on the 5th best hocke team in the US.. im one of the top goalies for my age group, and im on the US lympic developement program.... does hockey trade off for something liek violin?</p>

<p>96% National Standing? Or 96% Excellent Private School Standing?</p>
