Awards/Achievements
I am a TIME for kids kid reporter which is my main point so hopefully this will help a lot.
All state choir
A couple piano competitions
I won 2nd place in the middle school in 7th grade for a math competition
I have legacy which counts for a lot at Lawrenceville so hopefully that will also help a lot.
My SSAT overall was a 99% and I got a 99% in math, a 98% in reading, and a 92% in verbal.
My essays and interview went quite well and my recommendation letters should be pretty good.
So, do you think I have a chance?
Thanks!
