Congratulations on the high math scores on the ISEE? Are you planning to take again?Your English scores seem quite low. Will you take the SSAT?

I can’t chance you for the schools but I would advise you to rethink your approach in discussing the volunteer work. People don’t “own” charities. They start them, manage them, work for them, volunteer at them etc. Using “own” make it seem illegitimate and I don’t think that is what you mean to imply.

Thanks for the advice. I do other community service tasks such as planting trees with my community and donating old clothes. I’m planning to retake the ISEE this December, hopefully I will up my English grades. I also meant to imply that my parents manage a charity.
