<p>woah really? that’s so cool! message me or something haha… if you don’t mind.</p>
<p>yayyy I got my report card back! all As</p>
<p>Your stats look amazing. As a rule of thumb (learned this from someone who worked in admissions): a 70th percentile score should get you in somewhere, but not everywhere. This should be thought about realistically though. If you have a 70th percentile, you shouldn’t be applying to all CHADES (I always include Choate) schools. In your case, that isn’t a issue. You should have a number of HADES schools (3-4), a few second tier like Kent, Taft, or Loomis (2-3), and a few safeties (1 or 2). Safeties could be a nearby day school or a 50th percentile school. You should basically have a guarantee on getting in to your safety.</p>

do you think NMH would be a good safety for me?
- the acceptance rates are higher
- even though it’s a safety, I really like the school</p>
<p>I also have Milton…? the nmh ao said Milton was a 2nd tier school</p>
<p>It might be considered “Second Tier”, but I wouldn’t characterize NMH as a safety.</p>
<p>It is a very good school, on par with Loomis and Taft.</p>
<p>okay, but I think it’s a little too late in the admissions process to apply to a safety, am I right?</p>
<p>recs: my English teacher hates me…
math is probably okay</p>
