<p>Athletics:
Golf- Good at it, hopefully Varsity team
Basketball- Ok, play on club team, not that good.
Soccer- Pretty much same as basketball.</p>

<p>Awards:
Not many
principal's honor roll always
Science Fair- Gold medal both years I was in it
Science Fair- special award signed by two licensed pyschologists for an "outstanding" project
Science Fair- Was on track to qualify for SSP middle school program, but the fair didn't have enough corp. funding
I have some competitions coming up in a couple of days though, so hopefully I do well in them.</p>

<p>Interview:
Awesome, I powned at my Exeter and Andover ones, did really well at Hotchkiss connected with all of them for Exeter it was a book, for Andover it was innovation and diversity (the concept of the two), for Hotchkiss it was that both of our names got butchered all the time. Deerfield and Lawrenceville interviews, here I come.</p>

<p>Essays:
I'm a pretty good writer, so essays will be good.</p>

<p>Recommendations:
English Teacher- Stellar
Math Teacher- I honestly don't know, he's really impassive when it comes to favoritism and I don't really think he has seen my potential yet.
Third Recommendation- Will be awesome, my golf coach loves me and thinks I'm good.
Science Teacher (for Deerfield and Hotchkiss)- Stellar</p>

<p>Other:
I am bilingual, in English (obviously) and my mothertongue as I am foreign-born but have been here for a while.</p>

<p>well your chances are alright and you need to be more well rounded
but they arent going to stick in the reject folder as soon as they take a look at your application</p>

3

<p>You have good stats and have real potential of getting into the above schools!!!</p>

4

<p>Everything seems excellent!
But sadly in boarding school terms, that means its just above average, do you have any hooks? Like a state ranked sport or a first chair musician? Those look really good on apps to make you Pop-out</p>

<p>Hey thanks for helping me! I’ll rate your stats as a gesture of thanks! Well your test scores are incredible, good interviews are crucial as well so the fact that yours were so exceptional should greatly increase your chances as well. You seem like a prime candidate for most of those schools. Best of Luck = )</p>
