<p>Hi! I have applied to 5 schools for the 2014/15 school year, originally started interviewing to be a one-year senior this fall. However, after my first interview at Pomfret, I've decided it would potentially be so much better for me to repeat my junior year if that will allow me to mature and develop in both my academics as well as my squash career. I have been in close contact with all of the school's squash coaches, as I've played in the Junior circuit for over 8 years. Two schools so far have told me I would be guaranteed the #1 spot on the varsity team. One coach said in an email that they will be speaking to the AO to let them know how beneficiary I would be for his team. So, to say the least, my 4 in-person interviews went so great! My interview for St. George's was through phone since I was unable to travel to RI on short notice. I have attended a private, independent day school since 7th grade, and have been to private school all my life before that. Saying that, I am definitely prepared for academic rigor since I am coming from the most challenging and elite school in my area. My GPA is not so great because I did not take my freshman year very seriously because I was constantly missing school for squash tournaments. However, my junior year, this year, I have maintained A-'s and B+'s, with one C+ I KNOW will change. The only test I have to send in is the SAT I took in Jan and it was my first time taking it---so I am not sure what to expect. I don't know really what I am asking....just perhaps, is there a good chance I can get into at least 2 out of 5 of the schools I have applied to? Especially since I am being "recruited" sort of for a varsity sport, playing #1? Sorry if this is long and rambling, I just do not have people I can talk to about this sort of situation. Clarifying-- I am seeking boarding school to have a stable squash atmosphere, as my father, who was my only means of training, has moved away, along with other family issues, in which bs can provide me an escape. I wish to mature in academics and develop further before I dive into the college process. The schools I have applied to are as follows: Hotchkiss, St. George's, Millbrook, Pomfret, and Loomis Chaffee. Also applied for FA for all 5, and I would be happy at any of them.</p>
<p>Thank you!! x</p>
