I know I have already posted a chance me thread, but it didnt include many things, so here is my (somewhat) complete ‘profile’
Schools: Andover. (my parents would only let me apply to one)
Grade: 10th
Country: I live in Spain, though i’m half Chinese, half Irish.
Grades:
Mostly As. Some Bs, Some A*s
Extracurriculars:
Taekwondo, red-black belt
Ninjutsu
Karate, orange belt, won best starter award out of region.
Art. I came second in a nation art competition in china. Around 6 hours a week. sending portfolio.
Volleyball
Public speaking (for LAMDA award)
swimming, 1st for girls in my year for freestyle and breaststroke
ICT- around 3 hours/week
Piano
Duke of Edinburgh award (requires a certain number of hours of community service, ‘skill’ and sport a week)
Choir.
SSAT
85th percentile
Interviews
Both went well, i think i connected with the interviewer. almost 1 hour long.
My interviewer knows that i’m only applying to Andover, and why my SSAT scores were somewhat low for Andover.
Recommendations:
I think they’ll be pretty good. Maths, English and counselor should be very good.
Essays
Good. (i don’t really know what else to say abut them XD)
Hooks
I’m not sure ( both what a hook is, and what mine would be)
Extra Info:
I follow the English school system- GCSEs. You have to take four compulsory subjects, and five from a selection. I’m taking an extra two (possibly three, it depends if my school will let me)
I won the maths award at my last school assembly.
I went to a summer programme at Cambridge over the summer. I took three university-level courses, and got an A, and 2 A-s
I win, on average, two subject awards each year. (our teachers pick one student from each year, for each subject)
I peer-tutor.
Also, i take astronomy classes (which aren’t a GCSE) after school as well.
I help my parents run their businesses, and tutor my brothers for about two hours a week.
I’m sending in an art portfolio, and a piano/singing video.
I understand that with these ‘top-tier’ prep schools, there really isnt a way of guessing admissions chances, but any information as to where i stand would be very appreciated.
