<p>Hello, so I'm a ninth grader and I'm only applying for Phillips Academy Andover for 10th grade. I don't really understand this whole process of writing an essay. I just checked the Andover website and they said the deadline is January 15? Is that true? If so I can't get all my applications ready then. Well I just going to tell you guys my grades, EC, and such.</p>

<p>First half:
A - HN Physics
A - Digital Arts Studio
B - HN World History 2
B - CP Spanish 2</p>

<p>Second half:
A+ - CP Spanish 2
A - HN World History 2
A - HN Physics
A+ - Digital Arts Studio</p>

<p>I don't know for some reason I always end up doing better the second half of classes. I just finished doing this semester I wish I got all A's my first half, but I didn't but it's alright. </p>

<p>EC/Accomplishments:
- Captain for my basketball team in middle school for my 7th and 8th grade year, went to the All-Stars for my district.
- Won 3 awards my 8th grade year which was World Lang., Science, and Outstanding Athlete.
- Did MIT Summer HSSP(2011)
- Club 4, working in soup kitchen cooking for the homeless(Community service hours)</p>

<p>Hoping to do more community service programs. Not many EC/accomplishments since I just started HS but I'm getting there. I couldn't join my HS basketball team this year for personal health reasons but I'm better now and hoping to contact the Andover b-ball coach soon. I am doing spring track so hopefully I'm good at that. Also, I'm taking the SSAT test March 3rd. I know this is not much to chance on because I don't know about my essay, SSAT, and interviews but just give me little comments please. Also, what do you write in your essay? And in the andover site it says you were supposed to go the interview before January 15th, is that true? I know I'm asking a lot of question but I need to find answers quickly, just so confused. Please, and thank you :D</p>

<p>deadline for apps is the day after tommorow how are you going to finish your application, especially when you take the ssat a week before the decision, also the ssat takes time to get to the school</p>

<p>UMM, it’s impossible for you to get recommendations in on time, and interviews are pretty much filled… try applying late, or next year as a repeat?</p>

<p>It would seem there is no possible way for you to be admitted for next year; however, this comes from someone who applied 6 weeks after the deadline and was admitted to a top LA college many moons ago. Who knows? If you are really talented in basketball? Or, you may just be a ■■■■■? Are you really only taking 3 real courses? What about math? English of some sorts (language arts)?</p>

<p>Yeah, it’s impossible. I’ll just apply next year. @Weatherby that was first semester, I haven’t even taken math and english yet so how could I possibly get a recommendation? Like I said, I’m confused about this whole process of applying.</p>
