I’m applying for Class of 2021
I got rejected from Lawrenceville yesterday and I hear back from Peddie on April 10th and I don’t think I’ll get in.
I’m in 8th grade and am in honors geometry (two years ahead and have been two years ahead in math since fifth grade), honors English (since fifth grade) and have straight A’s. My science teacher lets me write her tests and grade them. I am at one of the top students at my school but my SSAT score was only 69% which I understand is quite low. I play field hockey and play for Spirit of USA Club Team, school team, and township team. The club team is coached by olympians and we won nationals this year. I play all positions including goalie. I also play basketball for my township as a guard. I do 7 clubs: talent show, jazz band, national honors society, choir, acapella group, student council (president), and robotics team (we won 3rd place international, and 2nd national). I am also a four time regional placed pianist as well as a 1 time national placed pianist and have passed several auditions that consider my one of the best young pianists of South Jersey. I also play violin and guitar. I do hip hop as well. I can speak Chinese and Fuzhou(another form of Chinese) and tutor children for community service. In my essays I mentioned that I have traveled with People to People Organization and placed a wreath at Iwo Jima Memorial as well as been an invited guest at the Saudi Arabian embassy in DC. Sorry, if I sound conceited I just want to know my chances.
I think you have a pretty good chance, but no one can say for sure. (I’m also not much of an expert so…:)) )How did your interview go?
I have my interview March 21st actually
How did the whole Peddie thing go?
