<p>I would say yes, you have a great chance! Good luck.</p>

3

<p>also im chinese which is azn, making me harder...
btw, i took chinese for 10years... and the interviews asked and talked a lot of culture.</p>

4

<p>what do you think makes you unique? theres a whole lottttttttt of chinese kids who have perfect 99%'s and can play violin proffesionally and all that jazz.... why should they pick you?</p>

5

<p>to we30:</p>

<p>i was saying because the fact that im chinese, it is harder for me to make the schools. like its more competetive for me.</p>

6

<p>oh, i see.</p>

7

<p>so what makes you different. if you picked out 4 kids out of the top 20% of kids, would you be the best of the 4?</p>

8

<p>you have ag reat chance but your ecs looks alot like many others. Do you do any sports besides swimming? Or charity?</p>

9

<p>i told the interviewerd that i did many hours of commiunty service.</p>

10

<p>If it was a lie and you couldnt go in depth, then you probably lowered your chances.</p>

11

<p>Good Luck with your swimming! BC High's team just came in fourth at states @ Harvard!</p>

<p>If you believe the 50 Free is your best event, really really work on it... most freshman (who dont swim year round) have 27s and 28s... At states, the times were flirting with 21s 22s and 23s...</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!</p>

12

<p>btw where do you want to go the most?</p>

13

<p>to mpicz:</p>

<p>it was not a lie lol, it was true, and actually we talked a lot about it.</p>

14

<p>andoverwarrior:
andover, u? are you applying that school too?</p>

15

<p>btw, because i went to the saturday course at milton is a teacher rec. program, would this increase my chances for milton???</p>

16

<p>i think you have a great chance but your grades might hurt you a little. If you go to Exeter and Andover's website you can see an application of a student that got accepted. It didn't show their grades but it said "Excel in Math and Science". The AMC-8 should help you though. But good EC's on the other hand.</p>

17

<p>to detrombone:
thanks for encouragement. btw, what schools are you applying to?</p>

18

<p>Just exeter, my parents wouldn't let me apply anywhere else because after I visited exeter they realized they didn't want me to leave, haha. I posted something asking about my chances and all my info is on there. You can take a look at that.</p>

19

<p>i'd ya good chance.</p>
