<p>Hi I normally wouldn't post a chance thread, but I spent a lot of time typing all my stats and things up, so I am :)</p>

Recs (pretty good, but not too outstanding)
Essays (pretty sure that they're good)</p>
<p>I do think that you are a very strong candidate and I am being truthful. Are you a Chinese American? What do you think are the weak points of your applications? I think the fact that you need significant FA wouldn’t hurt your applications a lot, since Andover’s need-blind and the other schools all have large endowment funds.</p>
<p>What I forgot:
Singing: MMEA junior districts
Work: Work at a boarding camp assisting in teaching Chinese kids English</p>
<p>assign:
Thanks! I am chinese american. I think that my recs weren’t as good as they could have been since I don’t really know my teachers that well, as they have around 100 students. Also, my interviews were good, but nothing special.</p>
<p>skisoccer:
I don’t really have any awards, unfortunatley, perhaps getting into junior districts for singing…idk, I never really entered anything :(</p>
<p>Getting into Junior Districts is definitely an achievement. Isn’t it just a chorus composed of 100 of the best singers in the state or so? Your chance is exceptional anyhow…you have no weaknesses whatsoever.</p>
<p>I’m sorry, Paula. However, I may be of some assistance - I turned down my acceptance from Exeter and Milton, so hopefully they’ll be able to offer you a spot!</p>
I was in the Eastern MA junior districts which isn’t too hard to get in compared to the orchestra.</p>
