<p>I am a boy in eighth grade at a public school and I'm applying for ninth grade at Phillips Exeter Academy and Phillips Academy Andover. Can somebody PLEASE tell me my chances of getting accepted to these schools?</p>

<p>SSAT Scores:
Verbal- 728 85%
Math- 794 97%
Reading- 707 86%
Total- 2229 93%</p>

<p>^On my essay for this I was nowhere close to finishing, I only wrote to about half of the page :(, but I know that the stuff that I did write was pretty good.</p>

<p>Grades:
Sixth Grade- As and Bs, two Cs (Pre-Algebra, Science)<<STUPID TEACHERS KEPT LOSING MY STUFF!!!!!!
Seventh Grade- Mostly As, some Bs
Eighth Grade-Straight As so far</p>

<p>Extra Curricular:
'Blank' Teen Council <a href="Community%20Service">The 'blank' is the city I live in but I don't want to give it away :)</a>- 1 yr
TGA Youth Group (Community Service)- 2 yrs
National Junior Honor Society- 2.5 yrs
Piano- 6 yrs
Drums- 4.5 yrs
Mallets- 3 yrs
Soccer- 7 yrs</p>

<p>Recommendations:
Language Arts: My teacher and I are seriously like best friends :)
Algebra II: Also currently taking Geometry, My teacher knows me pretty well cause it's a fairly small class
Personal: My piano teacher, I've known her longer than I've been playing the piano so we're pretty close
Counselor: Although she doesn't try to get to know me, I try to build a good relationship with her (ie. If I ever see her around school I'll start talking to her...). I'm not really sure what kind of recommendation she's going to give me.</p>

<p>Languages:
Gujarati, Hindi, Spanish (I've been taking it for the past three years)</p>

<p>Interviews: Haven't done them yet.</p>

<p>Pretty good chance.
But how good are you at soccer and your instruments?
SSAT is really good too.</p>

<p>I agree. You will need to tell them that you have any awards, recitals etc. because it seems everyone here is good at instruments. I think you have a fairly good shot</p>

<p>I would suggest that you get yourself out of the mode of saying things like “STUPID TEACHERS…” In fact, any type of finger-pointing to explain your less-than-perfect record will always be seen as bad form by you. Try to remember - when you reach out to point a finger at someone else, then 4 fingers will be pointing back at you - and that is exactly the subliminal message carried by your post above.</p>

<p>ok well I see your point and I really am sorry about ‘pointing my finger’, but they even admitted that they lost my stuff and they couldn’t let me retake all of the work because the grading period was already over and so they had no other choice. Whateverr…</p>

<p>Don’t obsess too much over your “chances”, but you seem like a pretty well-rounded guy.</p>

<p>This is a very difficult school to get into. I’d say, with your grades… maybe 20% chance. Sorry</p>
