<p>i know in 6th and 7th grade my ec and grades arent perfect. but i have alot of stuff for eigth grade. will this ruin my chances or is this okay that i have alot for this year. will i get in. this is my dream!</p>
<p>How are your SSATs? Also, what state are you from? </p>
<p>Your marathons and triathlons might interest them, or at the very least give you something interesting to talk about for your interviews.</p>
<p>Where do you live? You have ethnic diversity on your side; if you live in a state that isn’t typically overrepresented at New England schools, that might help as well (geographic diversity). I can’t speak for Andover, Exeter, and Choate in particular, but I think you should go ahead and apply. Just know that the acceptance rate is often around 10%. If going to boarding school is your dream, make sure you have a couple of safeties (check out some of the “hidden gems” as well).</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I live in CT, i live in a town where their is little diversity though. Not to many hispanics. Also, I havent taken the SSAT’s yet. But am studying my butt off for it. But i am also applying to two other prep schools near my town</p>
<p>Oh and i am also applying for Financial aid, i don’t know if that will hurt my chances or not. I also have one more question, does it matter how long you have done your extracurricular’s</p>
<p>I’m applying to private schools in my area, and no boarding schools, so I can’t really say anything about them. The thing about financial aid: it probably shouldnt, but thats just what the school I’m applying to says (i dont really see any reason why it should, though). For your second question, it should matter quite a bit, because it shows dedication and commitment to whatever activity it is. If youve started doing a bunch of extracurriculars in the past few years, schools might think you’re doing it just for the admissions; concentrating on one or two would be the best option.</p>
