<p>Ok so your applying to high school? nice!
So I think everything looks pretty good, you’ll probably get in, I don’t think high school’s are too picky about who they want in their school.</p>

3

<p>Can someone please help? I’m quite desperate.</p>

4

<p>Haha another chinese applicant here…but i’m in america now…As a chinese i gotta say with ur score it’s almost hopeless so…take it again</p>

5

<p>I’m not from China.</p>

6

<p>Never mind then. but it surprised me about the “chinese essay”</p>

7

<p>So as you were saying…it’s hopeless for me to get in any of the schools?</p>

8

<p>Nah…2 years ago a girl got into choate with a ssat similar to yours. But it’s safe to assume that her ec or personality was tremendously great. Still I gotta say your chance is really small if you can’t take the ssat again,almost hopeless. Score higher than 85 it’d give you a huge boost., don’t let the score be your only obstacle</p>

<p>bianca, I don’t really know what your chances are at any school. All I know is that all the schools you mention are VERY difficult to get admitted into-- Hill School only admits 1 in 3, and the other schools are even more selective. </p>

<p>I have repeated urged all posters to CAST A WIDE NET</p>
