<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I am a white male in 9th grade currently attending a private day school. I will be applying to repeat 9th grade at Exeter, Andover, and Middlesex. My GPA is 3.75 (All A's and one B+) in all mid level classes, I take Chinese, and I got high honors last term. I only recently decided that I would be applying out, so I have yet to take the SSAT (I took it last year, got ~2100, scored 73%, I expect to do better this year) and attend my interviews.
Although it may seem like I am trying to do the impossible, I am a legacy at Exeter and have a significant hook at Middlesex. I also play lacrosse year-round for one of the top 5 most prestigious programs in the country, and am already receiving attention from D1 colleges. I have spoken to the coaches of all three schools and they told me that I am top priority on their list for incoming lacrosse players.</p>

<p>My EC's are:
-Coaching (2 years): I am an assistant coach on my town's U9 lacrosse team.
-Lacrosse Stringing (4 years): I am very skilled, I own my own stringing business which includes a website that I designed.
-Hockey (11 years): Just town travel and school, I play because I love it.
-Football (1 year): Varsity letterman my first year playing, definitely will continue to play.
-Community service (6 years): I help out at my town's food pantry, help out at a nearby farm, this summer I spent two weeks volunteering for a program that helps underprivileged children develop their reading and math skills.
-School Business Club: Love it because I plan to work in the business world.
-I am an avid reader, I read for a few hours every week.</p>

<p>Please be as realistic as possible with me.
Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>A ton of people are looking at this and no one has anything to say? Come on guys, I just need some speculation.</p>

<p>As a recruited athlete, you have very good chances.</p>

<p>It seems to me that you have a shot at the above schools. The wild card is how much they want you for Lacrosse. That’s something you’ll have to find out yourself.</p>

<p>Do you play lacrosse or just string sticks? If you play that could increase your chances a lot! But I guess if you run a business of your own the schools will probably like that too. Good luck though.</p>

<p>Not a bad SSAT, and good GPA for an athlete. You have a good shot.</p>
