<p>Are you a very strong athlete at one of your sports? Unless you are likely to contend for a varsity slot as a freshman, your academics/ECs/SSATs are not exceptional for the likes of Taft and LC. I certainly think you’re in the ballpark for Kent and NMH, and I just don’t know enough about Berkshire’s admissions stats of late to comment on that one. Get those connctions to write a letter for your file, and good luck!</p>
<p>Oh, and most importantly, if your username is anything like your real name…bail on this account and create a new one with a MUCH more anonymous name. Protect your privacy.</p>
<p>dont worry about my username its not my real name</p>
<p>thanks for the input. my coach is putting in a good word for me. I’ve been recognized by USA hockey for some of my playing. Im also submitting a tape to taft. My old teachers may put in a good word for me as well, I am a very strong student, but I come from a public school and standardized testing isnt stressed there.</p>
