No one on this forum can give you an accurate prediction, which is why so many people avoid the Prep School Chances section. However, I can guarantee that your ability to pay for full tuition will help.
Hi I am current Hotchkiss student. From your information you seem like an ideal candidate, but your acceptance will also depend on your interview. Good Luck!
Have you contacted the lax and squash coaches? If so they like your athletic ability the coaches can push for you during admissions review.
@Hotchkiss3457 haha an ideal candidate minus the whole legacy at Taft thing (;
But I really do love Hotchkiss so thats good i guess! (I think Hotchkiss or Choate was my best interview)
@zeebee619 one of my friends at hotchkiss has a family with a legacy at Taft so maybe it doesn’t matter but idk for sure
@Hotchkiss3457 haha wasn’t too concerned just thought it was funny
hey @zeebee619 , just curious… Did you choose what school you will be attending in the fall?
