<p>I'm British student studying in a boarding school on the South coast of England, I'm 15 years old, currently in year 11 (10th grade) doing my GCSE's and I am applying to Phillips Exeter Academy and Phillips Andover Academy for 11th grade. I'm aiming for A*'s and A's in all of my GCSE's and have been predicted those grades.
The subjects I do at the moment are:
English Literature

Physics
Spanish
R.S
History
Art
I've also been taking piano lessons for 3 years and musical theatre lessons for a year and will be doing the abrsm grade 5 piano exam and lcm grade 3 musical theatre exam soon.</p>
<p>Extra Curricular:
Theatre (Was part of a musical theatre group for four years until it recently closed, performed in many musicals across England, appeared as an extra in a tv show and have received an award from them)
Singing
Languages (Learning spanish, german and russian)
Air Cadets (I did cadets for over a year but unfortunately had to quit due to becoming ill and then I could never rejoin when I started boarding)
Duke of Edinburgh - Silver Award (This is an award scheme in England that consists of doing volunteering, a skill, a sport and doing a weekend of hiking)
Art (as well as choosing this as a GCSE option I also do a lot of art work in my spare time)
Skiing (I am quite a competitive skier and have won a few awards)
dance (I used to take regular dance classes before I started boarding)
Tennis (I started less than 3 months ago so haven't really accomplished much :/)</p>
<p>I also missed over a year of school due to being ill putting me behind with my studies, I've managed to catch up now but do you think this will lessen my chances of being accepted? D:</p>
<p>I would appreciate honest answers :)
Thanks!! :)</p>
