Chance me For TAMS

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am 13 years old and am aspiring to be a TAMS student.
Ethnicity: Indian (Asian)
SAT: I took the SAT in the summer of my 6th grade. My score was a 1520.
I have been asked to take the DUKE TIP test and hope to see improvement in my SAT score.
In 7th grade I am taking Algebra 1. Sadly I have received 2 B's but the rest are A's. I hope that this will not ruin my chances of getting into TAMS. All of my other classes are high A's (94-100).
Clubs:
Destination Imagination
Chess Club
NJHS
Robotics
Orchestra (Violin(2 years so far))
EC's:
Soccer
Karate</p>

<p>I have been in the LEAP/GT program for 8 years now.</p>

<p>Community Service:
I have not been able to get much of this in because I am under the age of 14 and most places do not let kids under this age to volunteer their. I have worked at my temple many times (30-40hours). I help out my schools PTA when possible. Once I am 14 I will apply to a local old age home and hope to get in at least 2 hours a week.</p>

<p>I really have wanted to be a part of TAMS. I have a strong interest towards math and science and am good at both. I have talked to my sibling (who is a TAMS student) about what I can do to get into TAMS and although I believe everything that my sibling tells me, I would like further insight from other people.</p>

<p>What is TAMS?</p>

<p>Unless you want to come to TAMS early, it’s pretty early to be asking what your chances are! A few Bs won’t hurt your application that much. You seem to know what you’re doing, as far as extracurriculars and clubs. Most people score low on their middle school SAT. Try to work that up to at least, I don’t know, 1850. Higher than that is better. Once the SAT switches over to be out of 1600 in 2016, I have no idea how universities will react. TAMS does not look at grades in 6th grade, but they look at grades in 7th-10th grade. Just keep up the grades and extracurriculars!</p>

Man you got like 4 more years. Chill. I found out about TAMS January of my sophomore year and I got in. Have fun while you can.
