<p>I posted a chance thread a few weeks back, but I've added/removed a school or two and updated ECs and schooling situation. I hope I'm not breaking any rules or failing to adhere to chance thread etiquette... oh well</p>
<p>Grades for first quarter:
Biology Honors: 99
PE: 98 (I did 40 pushups and I didn't get 100?! NOT COOL)
Global I Honors: 96
Chinese I: 97
English 9 Honors: 99
Design and Drawing for Production: 100
Algebra I: 96
Overall: 97.86</p>
<p>Current grades (that I have knowledge of):
Biology Honors: 99
Chinese I: 100
Geometry(started midyear): 85 (it would be a couple points higher but my teacher put a 0 on my homework when I didn't turn it in because I was out sick. Since I'm switching schools I won't be able to get it to her so I'm just going to have to send a note or something explaining how I can't turn it in. But overall I think that's pretty good coming in midyear)
Design and Drawing for Production: 98
Algebra: 96
These grades are probably inflated though...</p>
<p>School type: Public BUT will be switching to a good private day school when break is over.
FA: We could pay around 6000-8000 of the tuition.</p>
<p>ECs:
Gymnastics- 9 hours a week, 3x a week, level 5 USAG (not that good) no major awards
Piano- 1 30 minute lesson 1x a week, no awards whatsoever
Art- No lessons. Not a very good artist, comparatively. Was recognized by Stone Soup but never given a story to illustrate.
Rising Stars Internship- This is my best EC in my opinion. Started in 7th grade. I attend Amateur Astronomers club meetings every month, and go to star parties when I can. I'm hopefully going to get a recommendation (for Exeter) from the coordinator. </p>
<p>I'm probably going to start offering tutoring services in basic algebra and pre-algebra to kids in my old homeschooling group.</p>
<p>Awards:
2nd place Solar System at Science Olympiad (invitational) 8th grade
Misc. team awards for FLL Lego Robotics 7th-8th grade
12th place Vault, age 12+ Level 5 at 2010 Candy Cane Classic (ahahahahaaa... fail. I'll do better next time?)
Stone Soup recognition 8th grade
Rising Stars internship (there is an admission process)</p>
<p>SSAT: Will post scores when I receive them. I think I did okay.
Recs: Probably very good
Essays: For Andover, okay. Deerfield, eh. Hotchkiss, pretty good I think. Exeter, so far so good.
"Hook": I was homeschooled k-8.</p>
<p>Please be completely honest. :)</p>
I’m in 9th grade; applying for 10th. I understand the competition for 10th is pretty tough though… </p>
