Hi my name is Elizabeth, I am from South Jersey and I am applying to these schools as a repeat 9th grader- Lawrenceville, Exeter, Andover, Deerfield, Groton, Loomis Chaffee, and Blair Academy. I am applying as a repeat 9th grader because of my age (I am a year younger than everyone else) and I want to make sure that I am fully prepared before I go to BS. I will need full financial aid.
I already went to the interviews for most of them (besides Lville and Blair which I will be doing in
December) but the rest of the interviews were amazing and they told my parents what a lovely child I was. I have all A’s but this marking period I got a B in English Honors : (. I have been dancing pretty much all my life, I run track and do field (high jump) and I also play tennis. I used to play the violin but I want to continue that next year.
I was in National Junior Honor Society where I did various community service acts and tutored younger kids. I also volunteered at a Living Home where I entertained the elderly. I am currently in the Foreign Language Club, Interact Club, Health Careers Club, and Steppers with Style. Also, during my 8th grade graduation I was awarded the Principal’s Award for not only my leadership skills that I portrayed, but also my for grades. My teachers are going to send the recommendations soon and I know they will be great because I am a really good student.
My courses include- English Language Arts I Honors, Dance I, World History Honors, French II, Physical Ed,. Biology Honors, and Algebra
As for SSAT I will be taking those on Jan 6 and I know I will do well on those because I study every day for it so my goal is 90% and up. I tool the Character Skills Snapshot as well.
What do you guys think my chances would be for these schools? Please be honest I am still working on the essays but I think I will do well on those too.
P.S My brother and my sister both graduated from Lville so I have a little legacy there.
