Chance Me!!!

<p>So basically, I want to get into Lville as a sophomore. I have a 89% average in school though with 2 C's and 6 A's. I go to one of the best school systems in NJ with lots of Asian students. Also, recently my family member was diagnosed with cancer and it threw me off track.
I am in all honors courses. </p>

<p>This is a little about me-
-student council
-model congress
- volunteer at a local animal and nursing home</p>

<p>Sports
- basketball have played travel for around five years or so and have been an MVP twice
- golf just started playing around 7 months</p>

<p>Achievements
- debate and speech: I'm am the seventh best debater in the US and the twelfth best speaker.
In seventh grade, I was the seventh best speaker in the US
- As I mentioned before, I have been MVP twice for bball
-I have won many local competitions in speech and debate
- I have done singing competitions
-My poetry has been featured in a book 4 times
Things I do non-competitively
-Dance been doing it for 9 years
- Flute been doing it for around 4 years in school band</p>

<p>All of my teachers like me, alot. Therefore, I am sure I will get a good teacher recommendation. On my practice SSAT's I've done pretty well. I'm sure I will get above the 90%-tile. I am good at speaking so the interview won't be a problem either. Also, I am a good writer so the essays don't concern me. My main concern is that one C+ in biology (it was because one of my family members was struggling from cancerand I was really just lost). In general, how do I look for admission to Lville? What would you suggest I do to get in to a more selective school? How do I look for the other schools?</p>

<p>Please be honest with me! I am applying for 10th grade from a public school with no financial aid. I am also Indian if that plays a role on anything.</p>

<p>You seem to be a very well-rounded student. L’ville is amongst the top ten BS and therefore very competitive. I am applying for L’vile too! It is my top choice I hope I can see you there next fall. Anyways you should go to the schools you most like and you would feel most comfortable in. You could apply to Exeter and Andover which are very rigorous and due to your academic background I suspect you can handle it. Remember to apply to safety schools and that L’vill is still quite one of the best schools with amazing college enrollments and over 2000s SATs. Being Indian will probably give you an advantage since most schools seek diversity. Good luck!</p>
