<p>Please chance me for: Taft, NMH, Middlesex, Hotchkiss, and Loomis Chaffee!
I'm a white girl from CT entering boarding school as a ninth grader, not on financial aid.<br>
SPORTS:
I have played on my town house softball team the past two years as a catcher, and as a outfielder on a travel team last year.
I was on my towns cheerleading team for four years as a main base and won the AYF National Championship title three of those years.<br>
I like to sprint, especially 50-200m dashes. Our school has no track team, but in our track unit in gym last year I ran 50m in 7.5 seconds( I tied the school's girls' record).
MUSIC/ ART:
I have been in the school band as a general percussionist the past three years, as well as in an audition-only honors band group that meets before school once a week called Wind Ensemble.
I have been in our schools audition-only select Chamber Singers group for all three years as an alto( also meets once a week before school).
I was in the school play as a dancer in sixth grade and I am in it again this year as an actor.
ACADEMICS:
I am in the highest classes offered at my school for eighth grade (10th grade Geometry and Advanced Earth Science).
I get mostly A's and A+'s with one or two B+'s a year and one B in my last quarter of math in seventh grade.
Very good recommendations- all my teachers love me and think I show leadership qualities as well as being intelligent/funny/kind/etc.
I was in the school award-winning literary magazine's editing group (teacher-picked) in both sixth and seventh grade.
I was accepted into the school spelling-bee all three years( you take a 50 word test to get in).
OTHER:
I take religious ed once a week after school from fall to spring and also volunteer at my church.
I have attended CTY Summer Camp for three years and I'm going again this summer. I have taken three-week intensive courses in Creative Writing, Model UN, and Ethics.
I took the SAT's in seventh grade and scored:
Critical Reading: 660- 91% of college-bound seniors
Math: 500-45% of college-bound seniors
Writing: 570-75% of college-bound seniors
I have also scored in the 'Advanced' section of the CMTs( CT state standardized test) every year in every section as well as receiving a perfect reading score last year.</p>
<p>Please reply! Need help</p>
<p>Just had interviews for four of them…
Taft: really like the campus, thought interview was good
Loomis: interview was great she really liked me and thought I was really confident
Hotchkiss: interview was great, said similar things to Loomis interviewer
NMH: pretty good interview, not amazing but definitely good</p>
<p>All of your stats look great academic wise and arts, sports etc… How’d you do on the SSAT and how were your essays?</p>
<p>I’m just finishing up my essays and they are pretty good- I’ve always been really good at bringing out my personal voice in my essays rather than the bland run-of-the-mill factual types. I took the SSAT’s just a couple days ago and feel like I did really well on math, and pretty good on verbal and reading.</p>
<p>Accepted to NMH and Loomis, Waitlisted for Taft, and Denied to Hotchkiss</p>
<p>^^^Good choices, revisit if at all possible.</p>
