Chances for Hopkins and Choate

<p>Freaking out cause my SSAT scores were lower than I expected.</p>

<p>80%- VERBAL
81%- MATH
90%- READING
(86% Overall)</p>

<p>I meet the expectations of both schools, but I also need Financial Aid, so I think chances that I'll get in either school is pretty bad. </p>

<p>I do swimming, play the violin, piano, I am the school's vice-president, and editor of the school newspaper. I get straight As, but the SSAT is what I thought really defines your intelligence. I think my teachers wrote good recommendations, but I think my essays are only average, hopefully better. I also think the interviewers liked me since I have a bubbly personality. </p>

<p>I've always wanted to go to both Choate, and Hopkins, and I have friends there, but their SSAT scores are higher than 90%, and most of them even in the 99% overall. This makes my hopes go down, so I really hoped for better scores, so I am nervous this will effect my chances. Do I have a chance to get accepted?</p>

<p>I think that you have a good- or even great- chance at getting into Hopkins. I am no expert, but I know a girl that got in there for 7th grade, and she wasn’t as involved in the school community or anything as you are.
For Choate… Well, I have to say in that, for I am applying there in… a year myself.</p>
