Applying to: Choate, Milton, Loomis.</p>
<p>Now I know these are all excellent schools but I really am aiming high. It is a big move to make so I want it to be the best of experiences if I get in. I think my interviews went alright. My interviewers were very friendly and I enjoyed the visit. I havent had my Loomis interview yet because the dates that we went up for the others werent available for Loomis so I will have to do a phone interview. I am still working on the essays but so far so good.</p>
<p>I know you cant give a definite answer, but I just want to see if I have a chance at these schools.</p>
<p>xoxcookie: Say what? Caribbean is such nice place to be. I live in new england and trust me, I hate the cold. There's so much snow and its so cold. Plus there aren't nice beaches like the carribbean. </p>
<p>Anyhow, schools like diversity, but don't expect that to help much. You should list like awards you got for your ec's because often times, schools look at quality over quantity. Anyone can have hundreds of ECs, but you have to be good at it to get an advantage over other applicants. No one can give you a deft. answer, but you probably have a fair shot at the schools. You probably have the highest chances at Loomis and Choate though.</p>
<p>Yeah i have to agree with crickett2324 but I think you definitely have a chance....I wish i had your ssat score too! (i got and 80! <em>TEARS</em>)</p>
<p>Thanx Jonathan, but i still feel so intimidated by everyone else's stats and it's also because i'm applying to some of the biggies so i feel depressed right now.</p>
<p>O and xoxocookie, can you tell us the awards you have won, if any?</p>
<p>tingting, you are in the running for all of those schools, it is a ggrreeat score! dont be intimidated either. as for awards, i have passed the grade 1 theory exam with merit, my team won the u16 jv volleyball girls section in the christmas invitational concert in trinidad. there are a few others so i will post them later, i jsut dont have my app nearby.</p>
<p>thx so much...it makes me feel better :)
Those are good awards too so i'm sure that you have a good chance of getting in...especially since you also need no FA</p>
<p>lol sydyen09, i have to work on getting into the schools before i can make a decision like that :) one question: you know that loomis has this great writing program, does that mean that they try to encourage writers to come to the school or is it just that the writers tha they do accept should take part in the program? basically, does writing give you a stronger chance of acceptance?</p>
<p>I'd imagine if you're a good writer it would give you a better chance anywhere you apply. Think application essays. If its flippin' amazing then you'd have a stronger chance.</p>
<p>If Loomis sees your essay and thinks "Dang. This girl has skills!" then I'm sure it would be better. Writing related accomplishments and E.C.s would also be a plus for big writing schools.</p>
