BS Applicant Stats 2013

<p>While we wait for the admission decisions, I think it’s fun to collect BS applicant statistics.</p>

<p>Format:
Grade you are applying to:
Gender: M or F
Ethnicity: Caucasian, African American, Hispanic American, Asian American
State:
Full Pay or FA:
Repeat Grade: Yes, No
HADES or non-HADES Applicant:</p>

<p>I’ll go first: 9th grade, F, Caucasian, Mo, FP, No, non-HADES</p>

<p>I think you should include more than those four ethnicities ^_^</p>

<p>11th grade
F
Asian American
New York
FA
Yes
The H,A,and S part of HADES. xD</p>

<p>Could we add in other facts? Like your SSAT/ISEE, or your first pick?</p>

<p>^ agree with Alaska ( hey there)</p>

<p>11th grade
F
Asian American/ caucasian</p>

<p>FA
Yes
Hades well partly</p>

<p>I guess it’s cool to add others like SSATs and first picks.</p>

<p>Mine: SSAT 91% (Overall), Peddie (first pick)</p>

<p>@CellyZ I think on some level our privacy needs to be protected. Here’s what I suggest:</p>

<p>Haha yeah! I was afraid they might reject me because of my age, but when I talked to my interviewers they all insisted that I should apply for grade 10 and not repeat :stuck_out_tongue: Not sure how to read that.</p>

<p>CellyZ, how many grades have you skipped?</p>

<p>Just one. If I don’t get accepted into the schools I’ve applied to I might be skipping another</p>

<p>O<em>O You make my stats sound pathetic ></em><</p>

<p>Applying for grade: 10th
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: African American (does my mom’s dad being white count as caucasian…?)
Age: 14
FP or FA: FA
Repeating grade (y/n): n. I wanted to, but my parents said no.
Applying to schools: Episcopal and St. Paul’s. Again, my parents decision.
“Hook”: Diversity, field hockey player, volunteer for Special Olympics every summer, piano for about 5 years on and off, in GSA club and Anime Club at my school
SSAT/ISEE/SAT/PSAT: SSAT, 76% (yikes, I know)</p>

<p>@JQuinn Love how you didn’t include Mexicans (not being racist, just an observation. My best friend is Mexican…I’ll stop talking now.)</p>

<p>How so? You scored higher than me on the SSAT! If anything it’s the other way around.</p>

<p>^ Only by 2 points!</p>

<p>2 points could make all the difference. Also, you don’t know any of my stats other than my SSAT so no need to fret.</p>
