<p>I am currently in 7th grade and am looking to apply to boarding school next year. I plan on applying to Blair, Peddie, Lawrenceville, Middlesex, St. Pauls, and maybe Kent. First of all, anyone who is going/has gone to these schools, can you tell me what you think? And second of all, can you chance me to the best of your abilities? I know that you guys aren't the admissions staff at these schools, but I honestly want to know if I stand a chance. By the way, I'm a girl.</p>
<p>Grades:
English average: 97%
Math average: 95%
Social Studies average: 99%
Science average: 102%
Latin average: 98%</p>
<p>Extra-curriculars:
I am a leading soloist in my school chorus, and I often choreograph our numbers. I also play the guitar (I have been playing for 2 years). My main extra-curricular activity is dance. I am on a competition team, so I compete with my studio against some of the best dance studios in the country. I take 7 dance classes per week: 2 ballet, 2 jazz, 1 pointe, 1 modern, and 1 hip hop, as well as multiple extra rehearsals for competition. I have been dancing since I was 3 years old, and have attended the Rock School summer dance intensive.</p>
<p>Sports:
Dancing is my sport, and because of the amount of time I spend dancing, I can't participate in interscholastic sports at school. However, I do thirds year-round: In the fall, I do tennis, in the winter, I do dance (I am captain of the team), and in the spring, I do softball. I love softball and am quite good at it, so I hope next year to clear my dance schedule a little bit in order to do the interscholastic team.</p>
<p>Awards:
I have won multiple writing awards, starting in 1st grade. 1st-4th grade, I entered and won first place every year in my library's fiction writing contest. Last year, I one first place overall in the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire writing competition. Even though I was in the youngest age group, I managed to win the highest award there. This year, I entered the Philadelphia Classics Society competition with a Grecian-inspired dress and a short story based off the myth of Echo and Narcisuss. I won awards for both items, however I don't know what I won yet: The awards banquet is in a couple weeks, so I will know then.</p>
<p>Report cards:
I usually get one or two Bs every trimester, but the rest are all As.</p>
<p>SSAT:
I have not taken my SSATs yet, but I plan on studying very hard for them in order to do well.</p>
<p>Community service:
Every week I go to a small school in Philadelphia for children with special needs. I usually spend about 45 minutes per week there, and have been doing it starting at the beginning of 6th grade, which equals around 48 hours up until now. My little sister has epilepsy, so I have a particular passion for working with special needs people of all ages.</p>
<p>Ethnicity:
My dad is Ecuadorian and my mom is British. I am both a US citizen and a British citizen, and my family is going to start trying to get an Ecuadorian citizenship for me. I live in the USA, and I am almost fluent in Spanish (meaning I understand all of it, but I sometimes have a hard time coming up with responses).</p>
<p>So, based on what I said above, what are my chances of getting into the schools I mentioned? Are there any other schools you would suggest based on my interests? What can I do to improve my chances? Thanks so much!</p>
