Chances into Boarding Schools...

Prep School Admissions Prep School Chances

<p>I am applying to Andover, St. Pauls, Cate, Thacher, Middlesex, Groton, Choate, Loomis Chaffee, The Dunn School, and some others... I am in 8th grade.</p>

<p>I have had incredible interviews with all, but especially with Andover, Cate, and Thacher! My application came in as early as possible, and I have amazing essays (checked and edited by a stanford graduate, and a cornell graduate who is an entrepreneur.) My rec's were also very good coming from my principal, math, english, and AP Physics teacher which I have had A's in all my classes since 6th grade. My other recs came from Dr. Jane Goodall, and other well known influential people. </p>

<p>My ssat scores were 99% in math, 97% in reading, and 95% in verbal. I go to a public school in Los Angeles, and I am the national junior honor society and student council president. I have 9 years in competitive club soccer and tournament team baseball. I have a world record, and I have raised over $400,000 in total for a charity which helps starving kids in Africa. I volunteer at least 10 hours a week to packing care packages for the army in community service and I was given some kind of Honor Medal by the Prime Minister of Tanzania. </p>

<p>I have held the school records for numerous fitness and physical tests. I take creative writing after school on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for 2 hours each. As I said before I am in the 8th grade and taking AP Physics, Pre Calculus, Honors Literature, Advanced Computer Science, Advanced Astronomy, Honors History, in all of these subjects my grades are from 97% to 120%. I did Model UN for 3 years so far each year my resolution gets picked. </p>

<p>I do not need any financial aid, and I am caucasian. I am creating my own 400+ page novel, and creating my own app. I have taken the EPGY courses at Stanford and Aced them all. My dad went to stanford and my mom to harvard who had an incredible parent statement they said. I think I will get in but I am not sure because these are the most competitive schools in the world. My tutor from Cornell University who has a PhD and is fluent in English, Spanish, French, and Chinese thinks I have a good chance. I also have a family friend who attended Andover, and went to MIT for a Business degree.</p>

<p>Any advice would be great!! Thanks!!</p>

<p>Any comments are seriously appreciated!</p>

<p>You missed the part about single-handedly solving climate change…haha, good one…</p>

4

<p>I don’t think you’ll get in. Mostly because, you know, you didn’t solve the issues in the Middle East.</p>

5

<p>You have no chance whatsoever. You haven’t solved the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, nor have you brought peace to the Middle East. Sorry, nope. Not a chance. </p>

6

<p>Maybe they’ll take in consideration that you helped president Putin stop the terrorists from the Winter Games and that you deflected alien forces with your supernatural forces, but it’s really a slim chance you got there. Try inventing a time machine, or finding the cure for cancer?</p>

7

<p>Lol this is funny. How about the fact that you haven’t beaten Assad in a arm wrestling match?</p>

8

<p>Definitely not. Have you cured cancer? Didn’t think so.</p>

12

<p>Should I be feeling insecure…cuz I am… I once helped a little kid color does that count :frowning: whooooooo</p>

13

<p>Haha, how many people like this apply to BS? Should I be scared that I’ve seriously underestimated my competition? I thought I was going against straight A’s and 99 SSAT’s with ECA’s, not people who save the world on a consistent basis!</p>

14

<p>It’s a ■■■■■ thread, and a funny one at that! </p>

15
