<p>Hey, can anyone suggest a good BS for me?</p>
<p>Here are my stats:
A- average: 2 high A's (96-98%). 2 A-'s (91-94%) and one high B+ (88%) in academic classes, all A's in non-academic classes (e.g. band, art, etc.)
99%tile SSAT
EC's:
Saxophone, 5 years: I participate in my schools regular band and the select jazz band (only four out of 15 saxophones are chosen), and the select wind ensemble
Piano, 8 years of lessons
Swimming: 5 years competitively, 8-10 years recreationally
Art, drawing and painting: Recreationally, 10 years; lessons, 2 years.
Pottery: 2 years classes</p>
<p>If you really want a good swim team school go to Peddie. W/ 99% you can go anywhere but you may not get your apps in on time. I started my interviews over the summer, turned in all teacher recs this week and I`m touching up my essays now. Why are you starting so late?</p>
<p>If you’re a really good swimmer and have won awards in sax/piano, I think you could apply to anywhere you wanted to (getting 99th percentile certainly helped). </p>
<p>I disagree, maddog, I know kids who got into Exeter last year who started their applications in late November/early December. It’s just a heck of a lot more stressful/rushed…</p>
<p>thanks for the help. i will definitely look into peddie. and dont worry, I’ve already started interviewing/applying for a few places, I just wanted a few opinions. currently I’ve toured at deerfield, concord academy (day student), groton, and hotchkiss, but i’m thinking about adding one more, either SPS, exeter, choate, or maybe peddie</p>
