<p>I’m not an expert, but your chances are high I’m sure. Make sure to ask for a letter from a teacher that really likes you.</p>

<p>You look well rounded to me aklove7. I would like to suggest a workbook called A Word a Day and Red Hot Root Words you can buy it at Barnes and Nobles bookstore. Also when you are reading underline the words you do not know and go look them up. Rosetta Stone Latin program may also help boost your verbal.
Did you know that Choate has a summer program?</p>

<p>Your chances of getting into both schools seem high! It really just depends on your application essays and your interview now.</p>
