<p>Ok so heres the deal. My aunt went to Milton graduated in the class of '04 went on to Harvard. Milton also has great sports nd a great campus so thats on my list. Went to the Andover summer session nd had my interview LOVED THE SCHOOL so thats #1, and Deerfield is just an all rounded school n im having n open house + interview there soon.</p>
<p>Ok I'm in 8th grade, I'm African-American, and I'm really freaking out cuz theres tons of competition for all of these schools but im cooling down because I have faith that I can get in. and so far I have pretty much straight A's but I got 2 B's though.
SSAT
94%-Verbal
93%- Reading
73%- Math :/
87% Overall :| (not the best scores)</p>
<p>Ive also already been accepted to two Catholic Schools but im waiting for BS letters </p>
<p>Ok so heres how it goes</p>
<p>7th grade I was a straight A student across the board with ONE "B" in science which still put me on honor roll for all three trimesters so thats good</p>
<p>8th grade
I am on the Basketball team but we dont have captains or anything so its more or less recreational
I play Baseball,Football,Lacrosse,and Tennis recreational but I might do them in BS
I am on a soccer team I'm a striker same thing wit the captains they dont rlly hv em
I was chosen to be a Lector which is an 8th grade privilege in my school for quote "8th grade students who excel in English and can read and project their voice loudly". A lector is a reader in church(catholic) who says the gospel readings to the members of the church during masses and this year out of 40+ kids only 14 were chosen and I was one of them.
I was selected to be part of the CTY Global Talent search from getting a 99th percentile on the ITBS(Iowa Test of Basic Skills) and I will have to take the SAT to start off the process.
I am yet to take the SSAT and I will take in in December of 2010 this year.
I was the youngest person in my school's history to ever be invited to the LI Catholic Honor Band when I was in 5th grade and I was the youngest person to be invited to the LI Wind Ensemble (which is only meant for 8th graders and good 7th graders) when I was in 6th grade.
I was also part of the NYSSMA ALL-COUNTY Band in 7th Grade which is the best concert band for 7th and 8th graders on Long Island (not opinion based).
I was also chosen to go on a People To People Ambassador Trip in 7th grade as well as this year (China for 7th) (Europe for 8th) and I am still contemplating on whether I should go or not.
I also completed 10 hours of service for 7th grade last year (Which is quite low but I'm aiming higher this year) and I will try and complete up to 50 this year for 8th grade.
Another important thing is that I taught myself how to play the drums, piano, and congas. I also taught myself how to play a little bass guitar.</p>
<p>So thats basically it and if there's anything else I'll be sure to add it. I know I'm not the most "outstanding" applicant but I know I have a chance at 1 or 2 BS's and if you recommend others for me please do so and please chance me.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
