<p>I'm in 9th grade and am applying to Milton, Nobles and Greenough, and Tabor Academy for 10th grade. I would be a boarding student. I have all A's except for one B+ in all accelerated leval one classes at a very good public high school. I horseback ride, do 4-H (am treasurer of one club, junior leader in one club.) I love ceramics and take classes. I also volunteer in a 4th grade class helping the teacher, and volunteer for a local conservation group. I haven't taken the SSAT's yet, but in 7th grade I took the SAT's in a John Hopkins talent search program and got a 1260 (before writing was added) if that is an indication of how I will do on SSAT's.
Anyone know if I have a chance?
I know there are a lot of variables, but opinions would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Sure you have a chance!! Your grades and EC's are fine, so the important thing is to focus on your essays and interviews, as they are extremely important. You should make sure to convey your personality, and really give the schools a sense of who you are. Also, congrats on your SSAT score!! (I saw it on another thread.) WOW!! :)</p>
<p>How did you do? Nobles definitely sounds like the right place for you, but I'm curious how it all worked out. My son was just accepted to Nobles, and he was really impressed by the students and teachers and their great relationships. He interviewed at Rivers, but found all the downstairs classrooms too cramped and uninviting, so he decided not to apply. Tabor was never a consideration since he isn't going to board, but I've heard great things about the day students there. Not so much good stuff about the boarding students, but if you love the ocean, you can't beat it. Hope you found a great school!</p>
