<p>Yep, another chance me thread.</p>

<p>I'm a 15 year old asian male, who is currently going to an international school in Beijing, China. After seeing some of my peers switch over to Andover last year, I decided to see if I could too. I am applying as a repeat 10th grader this year, as that (supposedly) increases my chances?</p>

<p>Anyway, here are my grades:</p>

<p>Middle School: Pretty bad. Mostly Bs, a few Cs and As scattered around the place.
9th grade: GPA: 3.3
10th grade (as of now):</p>

<p>Advanced Algebra (the highest level math class in this year): A
Geography: A+
Orchestra (As a side note, an A+ is extremely hard to get): A+
PE: A
English (The highest level course): B
Chinese (also the highest level course possible): A
Chemistry 2: A
Digital Photography: A+</p>

<p>GPA: Around a 4.0, as my school goes by 4.3 scale</p>

<p>I took a SAT practice test, and got a 2280 (my tutor marked my essay, he has full score on SAT 1 and on 2 SAT 2 subjects)</p>

<p>I'm thinking that as my projected SAT score is 99th percentile, so will my SSAT?</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Founded a Political action club this year, attracted a bunch of people, currently VP
Swim Team JV
Probably Badminton JV
HFH charity, some hours
Model United Nations, at the local BEIMUN conference
School Math Team
Played in various venues with string quartet
Tested violin level 9</p>

<p>I'm planning to do Abstract Algebra at SUMaC or Number Theory at CTY Johns Hopkins this summer.</p>

<p>My teachers are generally alright with me, but they all know about my little quirks (I'm a little random, and I tend to misplace everything I have)</p>

<p>I tend to do very well on interview, BTW.</p>

<p>So, what are my chances for Andover and Middlesex (with FA)?</p>

<p>You sound like a good candidate, and going to school in China should offer you some cred. Middle school grades and 9th grade gpa might hurt you, but it shouldn’t be too bad. If you did that well on your SAT now, then the SSATs shouldn’t be too hard. EC’s are good. </p>

<p>As long as you write good essays, you should be in the running. </p>

<p>… but for god’s sake, PLEASE go do some community service</p>

<p>I hope you don’t go to ISB =p either way, you seem pretty solid, especially since your doing a repeat year. Be warned though, nothing is a certainty when you apply for FA.</p>

<p>I hope that YOU don’t go to ISB.</p>

<p>Most people would know me by my extracurriculars, but never mind.</p>

<p>Come on, Advanced Algebra, Orchestra, and an A+ in geography (intro to geography is way too easy), where else would I be? :D</p>

<p>I generally don’t respond to chance me threads because I don’t believe in them, but I wanted to add that I don’t if many US schools offer FA for internationals. Andover and Exeter may be exceptions…</p>
