<p>umm i guess i'll start with ssat's</p>
<p>math - 99
verbal - 96
reading - 91
overall - 98</p>
<p>pretty much A's... but i got a B in spanish cuz i have been having some communication problems with my teacher</p>
<p>umm what else??</p>
<p>extracurriculars?</p>
<p>i am a BIGGG swimmer.... and they have the david. h. koch center goinnn on there... so i mean idk... swimming takes up a lot of my time... and i talked about in my interview how i wanted to help them start raising bees (my dad and i do that as a hobby)</p>
<p>i'm not the you know perfect person... i get my A's... i take the six courses (two languages) and do both band and choir... but i don't have that goal to get the highest GPA</p>
<p>Swimming is great! And raising bees is a interesting hobby! You sound like a great match for deerfield, but once again, I'm not an admissions directory. Please don't sue me. :) I don't think Deerfield is looking for the <em>perfect</em> student rather than people that are well-rounded and enthusiastic about learning and their hobbies!</p>
<p>what grade are you applying to?</p>
<p>haha... i luv your comment ... please don't sue me... jeez you crack me up!!!</p>
<p>I agree with thingslost. You sound like a great match for the school, with well-rounded interests. I am also not an admissions officer, though, so, again, do not sue me. What grade are you applying for? Do you have any other schools on your list? Just wondering.</p>
<p>9th grade...
you guys would all know if you check out my other thread.........</p>
<p>Other thread? oh. Sorry.</p>
<p>Academics look good. What are your other ECs besides swimming? Beekeeping is a very interesting hobby and sets you apart. Have you contacted the swim coach? Don't underestimate the pull that coaches have, although the pull is greater for sports like hockey and football.</p>
<p>You sound like a nice enough guy, eme14591, but do you seriously expect people to read all your other threads before responding to questions?</p>
<p>wow! good job on the SSAT's. I too am applying for Deerfield. I got the same scores as you on the SSAT's except i was in the 94th percentile in reading :)</p>
