<p>Hi everyone,
So I've never really done anything like this before, but I really want to go to boarding school and these are the ones that I liked. I am a 10th grader and would be applying for 11th grade for 2013/2014. I would love it if any of you could tell me what my chances are for getting into any of these schools:Choate, Hotchkiss, Taft, Loomis Chaffee, Kent, and Brooks School.</p>

-I have been on the girls cross country team for 5 years. I have been on the varsity team for 2 years. I have been to the APAC (Asia Pacific Activities Conference) for cross country and individually placed 10th out of 54. In small meets with other international schools in our area I have placed frequently 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.
-I have been on the track and field team for 5 years as well and Varsity for 2 years. I went to the APAC for track and field and placed 3rd in 1500, and 3000 meters.
-I have played girls Junior Varsity soccer for 1 year (I hope to play this year as well).We won our championship.
-I have participated in a charity event called Running to Stop the Traffik, which is a race in which people sponsor you, along with 8 others in one team, to run for 24 hours, and the money raised goes to the Ether Benjamin Trust to help stop human traffiking.
- I am a member of the Habitat for Humanity club at my school.
-I have volunteered at an orphanage, and helped teach english at a school in Thailand.
-I am not very musically talented</p>

<p>So I think thats about it. um I don't really think I have any hooks except for maybe the fact that I live in Hong Kong. But other than that my grades are pretty average, I'm a white female, I love sports, and I adore children and service. I'm quite shy at first but after I warm up to people and places I become very outgoing. I haven't taken my SSAT's or PSAT's yet but im taking PSAT's in 2 weeks and SSAT's in November. I hope I'll do okay on them, I'm not very good at taking huge tests but we'll see. My teacher recommendations should be fine except for maybe math because my teacher doesn't even know my name. Okay sorry I wrote so much but I am just really worried about getting into boarding school I think the one I want to go to most is Hotchkiss but I don't know if I have a good chance or not. Please help chance me, thank you so much.</p>

<p>You look like a great candidate. Since you said you were a little shy at first, I would really focus on getting over that and letting the real you stand out in your interview. I think that’s what really kills a lot of the intellectual kids who apply to these schools, we’re not very extroverted. But again, you sound like you have great chances.</p>

<p>thank you so much. And yes I will try and work on being more outgoing in my interview.</p>

<p>Hi there! I am a sophomore at Brooks School right now (so we would be in the same grade). Your resume looks pretty good! I just wanted to add in that at our school we care a lot about the community and becoming a tight-knit group, so if you show a definite interest in becoming part of it, you will have a great chance! Oh and the fact that you would be coming all the way from Hong Kong would definitely be interesting to admissions!</p>

<p>If you have any questions, just ask me!
Good Luck!:)</p>
