What are my chances of getting into Lawrenceville or Kent if I got an SSAT score in the 95th percentile, 119 points on the TOEFL, and A’s on the school final exams if the rest of my school grades are below average? Will my essays help?
No one here can give you an accurate assessment of your chances. Most of the kids applying will have decent scores and grades. A lot of it depends on what they are looking for each year. If the senior class includes their only lacrosse goalie and a star tuba player, they will have trouble resisting an award-winning tuba player who is ready to play goalie on the varsity lacrosse team. That same kid might not have seemed that interesting two years before…
Also: If you do NOT require any financial aid, admissions will be easier.
Any extracurriculars, interests, or other things that might help you stand out a little more?
You aren’t taking the exams until Nov. It might be better to post when you have actual scores instead of hypotheticals.
