<p>Hey so I'm a freshman and I'm looking at applying to boarding schools. I just want to get chanced for deerfield, choate, hotchkiss, taft, etc. My grades for eigth grade were...</p>
<p>Physics/Chemistry: A-</p>
<p>Spanish 1B: A</p>
<p>Algebra 1: A</p>
<p>Humanities (english and history): A and excellence</p>
<p>Drama Production: A</p>
<p>Drama Improv: A</p>
<p>Film Studies: A-</p>
<p>This year I'm taking:</p>
<p>English 9</p>
<p>Foundations of World Societies</p>
<p>Journalism 1</p>
<p>Spanish 2a</p>
<p>Geometry</p>
<p>Biology</p>
<p>I have A's in all these classes and could probably get excellence in history and journalism. I do a fair amount of community service and am a member of political forum, amnesty international, and film club. Next year I can join our nationally ranked newspaper staff and will probably take film studies. I run track as my main sport, have played basketball and cross country, and am starting wrestling this year. I also play tennis for fun. I could definitely get letters of recommendations from my teachers and advisor. My only problem is I would need financial aid and I think it might tank my chances. I just want to know what my chances are because I've always wanted to go. Thanks!</p>
