<p>I am applying for grade 10 to Phillips Exeter, Phillips Andover, and Deerfield.</p>

<p>Grades:
A student all my life.
4.0 GPA for first term so far.
I am taking 4 advanced classes for freshmen year.
Advanced Biology (year-long, two credit class)
Advanced Cultural Geography
Advanced Geometry
Advanced Algebra 2
this is the max of advanced classes to take as a freshmen.</p>

<p>My SSAT's scores from last year were overall a 91 or 92%, I can't remember exactly.
I did highly on Math and Reading, but vocab was around 75%....
I'm taking them again and I'm pretty sure I will score around the same or better</p>

<p>Sports:
I'm a three season athlete.
I was a starting freshmen on the Varsity Field Hockey team, and we just won Division 1 state championships
I also play basketball JV team out of three teams at my school. Kinda competetive
Overall, i consider myself a very dedicated athlete, as i always work as hard as I can in every sport i play</p>

<p>EC's:
student council for two years now, in 8th+9th grade
played trombone since 5th grade and made first chair for a regional districts band
sung in chorus since 6th grade, but i haven't really done anything outside of that.
I've done technical crew for the middle school's spring musicals in 8th grade and I hope to do it again in 9th.
I'm in my schools honors program.
I've also done and am doing volunteer work this year.</p>

<p>My math recommendation might not be the best but the others will be great because i love all my other teachers and am at the top in their class. I'm very good at math but i do not really like my geometry teacher...</p>

<p>I'm going to work REALLY hard on my essays, doing many many rough drafts until i finalize them.</p>

<p>What are my chances at getting into these schools?
What less competitive backup schools should I apply to if I don't make it into one of these three?</p>

<p>can somebody PLEASSSSEEEE reply?</p>

<p>I think ppl didn’t reply because they are not sure what you are asking. Of course you have a chance at these schools, – I mean, on paper it appears you’ve done what is recommended.
As for what other schools you should apply to…what are you looking for in a school? size of school? area? what programs? sports? etc…</p>

4

<p>tough academics and mainly athletics field hockey and lacrosse mostly
schools that send a lot of graduates to ivy league schools
big schools too, 400 plus size in new england</p>

5

<p>You have a good chance of getting in. The grades, EC’s, and other things look fine. Try your best on everything else and you’ll be a shoe-in for admission.</p>

<p>I see absolutely no reason why you wouldn’t be accepted at all of these schools, assuming your interviews go well - they are important. Also, make sure it is YOU who comes through in your essays, not what you think they want to hear - we have been told that again and again for both boarding school and college admissions. Generally speaking, it sounds as if you will have great teacher’s recommendations too. You are DEFINITELY in the running for all of your choices - GOOD LUCK!!</p>
