<p>Can I just say I’m intimidated, and I’m in already and going to a prep school?! And as for skipping grades, while it’s not as big a deal as college, I skipped and am a full 2+ years younger than all my classmates. Maybe there’s a program which earns you college credit or something! You are extremely qualified for any program. You are the only applicant I’ve ever been “blown away” by. Best of luck :).</p>
<p>I’m taking the SSATs for a second time this weekend, I have taken 5 practice tests and have had a tutor but I’m still not getting the scores that I want. My two interviews at Deerfiels went very well and I have two teachers there putting in a good word for me. If I don’t do well AT ALL the final time, is all hope lost?! I greatly appreciate your help. Thanks, Dancer959.</p>
<p>@dancer959, why are you posting this on someone else’s thread? If you need help, make your own thread!</p>
<p>Holy! (tears in my eye) I’ll never get in to these schools. (sniff, sniff) What did I do wrong? (wiping my eye) Was it my SSAT score? (sob) Not enough extracurricular? (sniff, sniff) Or is it THAT I’M NOT A FREAKING GENIUS LIKE THIS GUY!! (smiling) mmpqu2, you’re making us all look bad, man!</p>
<p>i want to like that comment really badly…haha</p>
<p>aznboi717- its alright man. I have been to Greenhill Fall Invite and Big Bronx. also a reason I may have not been to ohio valley is because when my team was traveling there, I happened to be hospitalized with a serious case of pneumonia 
</p>
<p>laughalittle- wow thanks again man! its inspiring to hear your 2+ years younger than everybody else. that might give me reason to try for a junior college.</p>
<p>dancer959- I have seen this post on many threads. sorry about your dilemma but just stop spamming other peoples threads</p>
<p>Indestructive- cheers mate! much appreciated!</p>
<p>You really should try…right now, with your stats, you could go very far.</p>
<p>laughalittle- after March 10 if nothing goes as planned, i will seriously consider it</p>
<p>what’s your top choice?</p>
<p>magusalex- i’d have to say exeter</p>
<p>no!!!Choose andover!!!</p>
<p>magusalex- haha do you go there?</p>
<p>Hi I am a 8th grader applying to top prep schools. I have straight As, very good applications and a very good hockey player.(AAA) What do schools find more appealing straight As or high SSAT scores?</p>
<p>hatrick- personally, it has to be a good mix of both i think</p>
<p>bump. anyone wanna chance?</p>
<p>no, but i went to the camp and loved it (best camp ever, i’m not even kidding <em>serious face</em>) and it’s my top choice, and since you seemed nice I think you should make the RIGHT decision. haha, no you can do whatever you like, but reconsider andover…</p>
<p>magusalex- nice mate. right now andover is my second choice but i may reconsider</p>
<p>Random, off-topic question: Do you speak with an accent? That would be exciting. Mate?! The best term ever! Excuse me, but I’m an overly enthusiastic girl most of the time :)</p>
<p>haha, that’s what i was thinking too. pretty awesome if you spoke like that. I’m going to try that now on college confidential. So, do you have an accent mate?</p>
<p>laughalittle and magusalex- haha yea, mates. I do, considering I grew up in NZ for 5 years</p>
