<p>Sine barely anyone responded to my last post... I am going to repost it
Currently, I am a 9th grade girl who is looking to apply to the schools listed above. My preference personally is lawrenceville, but we will see how things will play out.
Grades:
In 6th, 7th,and 8th grade, I had straight As/A+s. But this year, I am taking all honors courses, and started to take a bit of a down hill.</p>

<p>The following are my grades of my 9th grade year so far (my family member was struggling with cancer and I got really distracted):
Biology-C
Geometry-A
History-A
Algebra 2-B
English-A+
Art-A+</p>

<p>These are the clubs/ things I take part it
-biology League for my school
-student council
-model congress
- volunteer at a local animal and nursing home</p>

<p>Sports
- basketball have played travel for around five years or so and have been an MVP twice
- golf just started playing around 7 months</p>

<p>Achievements
- debate and speech: I'm am the seventh best debater in the US and the twelfth best speaker.
In seventh grade, I was the seventh best speaker in the US
- As I mentioned before, I have been MVP twice for bball
-I have won many local competitions in speech and debate
- I have done singing competitions
-My poetry has been featured in a book 4 times
Things I do non-competitively
-Dance been doing it for 9 years
- Flute been doing it for around 4 years in school band</p>

<p>All of my teachers like me, alot. Therefore, I am sure I will get a good teacher recommendation. On my practice SSAT's I've done pretty well. I'm sure I will get above the 90%-tile. I am good at speaking so the interview won't be a problem either. Also, I am a good writer so the essays don't concern me. My main concern is that one C+ in biology (it was because one of my family members was struggling from cancerand I was really just lost). In general, how do I look for admission to Lville? What would you suggest I do to get in to a more selective school? How do I look for the other schools?</p>

<p>Please be honest with me! I am applying for 10th grade from a public school with no financial aid. I am also Indian if that plays a role on anything.</p>

<p>Judging by your stats, I personally think you have a decent shot at Lawrenceville. But then again, there are thousands of students with similar stats as yours. You will really have to stand out in those essays and interviews. </p>

<p>Best of luck</p>

<p>Thank you so much! But I am worried about that C in bio. </p>

<p>how much do you think that will affect me? @maroon19</p>

<p>As you mentioned before, you stated that you had an unfortunate event (family member suffering from cancer) that possibly caused you to lose focus in your academic preparations. Make sure you articulate that in your applications to prove the slump in your grade. </p>

<p>I don’t know how much it will affect you. Keep your hopes up! I’m sure the admissions officers will understand.</p>
