<p>of course, you have a great chance for your perfect interview and ssat score.however, if you could list more ECs about other aspects of your life,including community service and voulenteer for wenzhuan earthquake or something like these,you will receive offers from every schools you admitted
by the way, i am applying as an international student from china too.in my opinion,117 in toefl…that’s extremely excellent !!!and i hope to be your friend. here is my qq number453383067, if you have a qq number too,add me to your friend list please.</p>
<p>Seems like you have a great chance, If you are really into playing tennis you should really consider going to Groton because they have 8 indoor courts and they have a great music building.</p>
<p>your SSAT Verbal isnt that great, but then again it’s just one of the three scores,
EC’s look about average
Everything else is good
You have a very good chance of getting into L’ville, Middlesex and Peddie, but Andover and Groton are very selective, so only an average chance there</p>
<p>Thank you for responding guys~~~~ I feel a lot better now…
Anyway, I’m just trying out for Groton and Andover… I took interviews with L’ville, Middlesex and Peddie, I think they were pretty good.
I saw the courts and fields at Groton. I’m hoping to get in~~~^v^
Good luck to everyone!</p>
