Chances for Exeter?

Prep School Admissions Prep School Chances
1

<p>I am an eighth grader applying for schools like Phillips Exeter and Phillips Academy. I would like an honest opinion about my chances for getting into one of these schools.</p>

<p>I am a A / A- student
Last year I took the AMC 8 and scored the highest in my school (24 out of 25)
(In sixth grade I scored second)
I also took the AMC 12 and qualified for AIME (in seventh grade)
I have won many local math competitions
I scored second place in a regional SAT competition
SAT score of 1870 (in seventh grade)
I am playing oboe in my orchestra and I am the principal player.
I believe that I can qualify for the California all state band.
In sixth grade I qualified for the local team that was supposed to go to Hong Kong for a math competition, but the competition was called off because of the H1N1 flu.
I believe that I can make my school MathCounts team this year
I also recently got a letter from Exeter asking me to apply to their school because of my good score on the AMCs.
I believe I can also qualify for AIME this year and possibly USAMO or USAJMO
I have qualified for the Junior Olympics in Taekwondo, but was not able to go this summer because I went to math camp.
I have also assistant coached a fifth grade AYSO soccer team last year. </p>

<p>Things that I will do:
I will join my local ARML
I will take SSATs and SAT
I will try to do California All-State Band
Volunteer at the local library</p>

<p>Getting into Exeter has been a dream of mine since sixth grade (which was when I first heard of it)
When I first heard of it, I fell in love with the school (it kind of reminded me of Hogwarts :])
Haha... I created this account just to ask this question.
Please tell me honestly what my chances are. I would appreciate any comments.
THANK YOU!</p>

<p>I would say its almost a guarantee that you will get in. This is all extremely impressive! You sound like a very well-rounded student, as in you not only excel academically but in other areas of your life, which is exactly what they are looking for. </p>

<p>You definitely have the background. You are well rounded and seem to have great abilities. The only question I have is how long have you stuck with everything? Otherwise I would say you have a good chance of getting in. Remember that nothing is definate, and it also depends if you are a type of person that seems like you love what you are doing and not just doing it for the credentials.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
