<p>I applied to a couple of boarding schools for the 2014-2015 school year and got accepted into all but I had to reject them because I could not receive full pay from them. </p>
<p>I'm going to apply as a repeat freshman (or should I go for 10th) for the 2015-2016 school year at Loomis, Deerfield, Blair, and Hotchkiss(and a couple of safety schools)</p>
<p>For my eight grade year (graduation tomorrow) I moved from one of the most dangerous and badly reviewed towns and school to a school that has been voted #158 best schools in the nation. I never had learned what they were advancing on so it was difficult to catch up.</p>
<p>Need Full Pay</p>
<p>7th grade: (Old School)
Science: A+
Math: A+
History: A+
English: A+
I never EVER studied and had terrible study habits as a result.Everything came easy to me and I was one of the best students.</p>
<p>8th Grade: (Current School) All block periods, three classes a semester (G.P.A is 3.6 with my rotation classes)
First Semester-
Algebra: B-
English:A-
Science: B-</p>
<p>Second:
Algebra: Had an F ended with a C
Science: B+
English: B</p>
<p>Third:
Algebra:B+
English: B
History: A+</p>
<p>Fourth:
Algebra: C
English: B+
History: A+</p>
<p>I understand these grades from 8th grade aren't certainly up there for these schools (Will explain the reason for the drop)</p>
<p>Extracurricular:
Hundreds of community service hours and I enjoy it very much
Girl Scouts- getting my gold award when I'm old enough(next year)
Have played saxophone and violin(don't know if they would count because it been about a year and a half) learning the guitar and drums
Will be starting a debate team and mock trial clubs at my the high school I will be attending (I'm moving again)
Will be starting the sports I've always wanted to do because now my parents have money to get me equipment
Dance for 5 years (took off another 5 years because of constant injuries)</p>
<p>At my next school I will certainly be doing better because I have gained better study skills and it is slightly less difficult than my current school.</p>
<p>Another thing that hold me back is that I've been diagnosed with severe depression and a severe anxiety disorder so that tends to hold me back from a lot.</p>
<p>Should I even attempt to apply? Should I apply for 10th or repeat 9th? Sorry for the long post!</p>
<p>Thanks for any feedback</p>
