<p>Hi, I'm 13 years old and in 8th grade. I plan to apply for Exeter, Andover, Hotchkiss, Deerfield, and Choate.
My grades in 7th grade are 4 As and 1 B+(I slacked off a bit). However, I'm sure I can get all As and A+s in 8th grade.
I'm currently taking high school math(Geometry) as a class because I skipped 8th grade math.
I placed 16th in MathCounts state tournament(Mass) and placed 8th for 7th graders last year.
I also placed 8th at Exeters math tournament and 9th at LMT(Lexington math tournament).
I also scored a 25 on my AMC8. On a practice SSAT i took, I scored a 2350, and I got around a 2100 on the SAT.
Extracurriculars:
I play the saxophone,and am 1st saxophone in my schools band. I also played the piano for 5-6 years. I am pretty good at swimming( I'm on a USA swim team), I'm probably 10th for my age in NE and I also do track. My mile is a 6:05 and my 800 is a 2:46. I played soccer for 5-6 years and played baseball for 2 years. Also, I'm confident I will make varsity swimming as a freshman( I checked their times). I also do speech club and attended a few tournaments. At my first tournament, I got an honorable mention, which isn't bad,as only around 15 kids out of 90 get recognized.
I'm planning on attending my school's community service day(around 4 hrs). I am an ambassador at my school which is a group of around 25 8th graders that welcome the newly arriving 7th graders into the school.
I speak Chinese and English fluently.
I also did Boy scouts for about 5 years and earned the arrow of light, which is the highest award a cub scout can earn.
My teachers and swim coach(who attended phillips andover) respect me and will likely give me good recommendations.
I am a pretty good writer and my essay will most likely be good.
I've prepared for my interview, and am pretty sure I will do well.
Also, my Mathcounts team this year most likely will place 1st.
What are my chances of getting accepted into these schools?
Thanks!</p>
<p>I don’t understand why people like us even bother posting. We both know we have good chances, just make a good impression at the interview and write a good essay, and you have a good chance of getting in.</p>
