<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I just finished 8th grade and next school year will be a freshmen in high school (9th grader).</p>

<p>I am applying to several boarding schools (Exeter, Andover, St. Paul's, Groton, maybe some more) for my tenth grade year (2012-2013), and was wondering about my chances.</p>

<p>Grades:</p>

<p>English and Social Studies ~
6th Grade - A
7th Grade - A
8th Grade - A</p>

<p>Science ~
6th Grade - A
7th Grade - A
8th Grade - A</p>

<p>Math ~
6th Grade - B+
7th Grade - A-
8th Grade - A-
I also took a high school for credit class during the summer in Geometry w/ Proof and got an A+</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:</p>

<p>I took Chinese for my middle school years (6th to 8th) (although I am Chinese) and am starting Spanish in high school.
I am a percussionist and a piano player (I am starting guitar).
I participated in Debate and MUN clubs.
I play tennis and baseball.
Green Club (the environmental club at our school).</p>

<p>For my freshman year I will be taking mostly honors/advanced courses (English 9 Honors, Honors Physics, AP World History, Algebra II [a year ahead of most of my classmates as I took Geometry during the summer])</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated A LOT.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Can you give us some more info on how many years you participated in your EC’s. You look like a pretty solid applicant, with the right rec’s and good SSAT scores and interviews, you shouldn’t count yourself out of the ball game :)</p>

<p>honestly, your transcript, EC’s, ssats, won’t tell any1 what your “chances” r. There’s no point, you’ll find out in March. Focus on presenting yourself as a passionate, driven individual. That is what boarding schools really look at, not just the things on paper.</p>
