<p>Pleaasee, this is my dream school. Also, if you wouldn't mind, what about some other top boarding schools? I think that I can get at least a 90th percentile on the SSAT's. Is the SSAT essay really that important -- like can it be a turn off if it's bad? And I'd love to hear some accepted Lawrentians' list and scores and EC's, and some who weren't accepted, if you don't mind please...</p>

<p>ugh, now that I read my list, there’s nothing exactly provoking about it compared to other competitors, is there? :(</p>

<p>You have very good stats. I think the ski club especially stands out. You seem like a well rounded student.</p>
